It has always been sub-par to Delphi, e.g. VCL, FireMonkey and COM interop are all done in Delphi, probably they got tired to do OWL and TV twice in both languages previously.

Yet it still manages to be better than Visual C++, in the Visual part, if we exclude the short lived C++/CX.

I was only thinking about Delphi in regards to the cross-platform, maybe after they end up rebooting the whole compiler on top of clang it gets better.

Or who knows, as Embarcadero is today, maybe they won't bother to improve that, not many corps care about C++ Builder.
