Just got a Delphi survey "why haven't you upgraded" and there was actually a "don't use it any more" option. That's been missing in the past. Although the "what percentage of new development is VCL/FM?headless" still had to add to 100%, even though in my case there is a GUI but it's HTML5 and C... and the back end is C++/PHP/Python.

I miss Delphi. It would be really handy if Delphi did what I needed, but it doesn't and there's no real prospect that it will. C++ is full of tricks for naive idiots, where it has the feature but it doesn't work. "exceptions'... that mostly work, but you can't get a stack trace and it's up to whoever throws it to decide whether to give you more information than "something bad happened", and ideally they will actually throw an exception rather than, say, an integer. Or NULL. The C++ Frequently Questioned Answers (FQA) is an essential tool.
