Yeah, I feel like Embarcadero/Borland took a completely wrong turn with their price policy. Instead of making the tool widespread and make small money from huge amount of places, they decided to go on full vendor-lock where you either get all or nothing, so Borland got nothing eventually and ceased to exist. That also burried my carrier prospects in that area, which is so sad considering how good the Pascal is as a language compared to C/C++.
