Delphi 2005 was my introduction to computers and programming, first in a course given by the local technical university, later in regular school. Wasn't embarcadero back then, but Borland I think. Neckhold either way. I liked how the development worked, and think it wasn't a bad environment to first learn programming.
Anyway, that were years of fun, but I, as most, moved on..
Same here, I think it's a very nice system to learn programming with (certainly nicer, more forgiving than c++)
As time went by I moved on to PHP and other things.
Is there anything that actually requires deep, low level OS hooks or anything like that, that would justify a desktop client app, as opposed to a browser based app, running locally (with web sockets and such?)

Mh.. A great user experience? In line with other made-with-love apps, which fit in nicely into the OS?
