I can't answer the Delphi question, as I haven't used it. But I did forget to mention two other important points:

6. Great 3rd-Party tool support: West Wind Web Connction, Stonefield products, xCase, Visual MaxFrame, Visual FoxExpress, yadda, yadda, yadda
7. No brick wall. There always seems to be a way to accomplish what you want to do in VFP, usually in a couple of different ways. It's nice that when a client asks if you can do something, you can say, "No problem."

Do you work with Delphi?

>>4. Handles the user-interface tier, business objects tier, and data tier in a n-tier environment, all in one package
>>5. Did I mention fast?
