I just want to suggest that Borland aren't out yet: I've just spent the day messing about with Delphi, Borland's new Visual Client/Server development tool based around an object-oriented version of Pascal. It's a thing of great beauty. Looks great and runs (and compiles) like the wind. Utterly intuitive. I barely needed to lift a manual.
