Disadvantages * Produces code for machines running Microsoft Windows only. Kylix, which allowed Delphi code to be ported to Linux relatively easily, discontinued. CrossKylix discontinued and CrossFPC not released and inactive. . * A reluctance to break any code has led to some convoluted language design choices, and orthogonality and predictability have suffered. * The newer versions of Delphi have suffered some stability issues Choose your rating: Rate it5 Stars - Best Rating4 Stars3 Stars2 Stars1 Star - Worst Rating Post Ans.

Advantages * Suitable for Rapid Application Development (RAD) * Based on a well-designed language, high-level and strongly typed, but able to use low-level code for hardware access and performance(McConnell 1993:49) * A large community on Usenet and the web (e.g. news://newsgroups.borland.com and Borland's web access to Delphi newsgroups) * Can compile to a single executable, simplifying distribution and eliminating DLL version issues * Many VCL (Visual Component Library) and third-party components (usually available with full source code) and tools (documentation, debug tools, etc.) * Quick optimizing compiler also able to use assembler code * Multiple platform native code from the same source code * High level of source compatibility between versions * CrossKylix - a now discontinued third-party toolkit which allows native Kylix/Linux applications to be compiled from the Windows Delphi IDE, enabling dual-platform development and deployment * CrossFPC - a sister project to CrossKylix, not released and now inactive, which enables Windows Delphi applications to be cross-compiled from the Delphi IDE for platforms supported by the Free Pascal compiler. * Class helpers to bridge functionality available natively in the Delphi RTL * The language's object orientation features only class- and interface-based polymorphism * Delphi 2005, Delphi 2006 and Delphi 2007 all support advanced refactoring features such as Method Extraction, etc. [1] Choose your rating: Rate it5 Stars - Best Rating4 Stars3 Stars2 Stars1 Star - Worst Rating Post Ans.
