So before Borland could lure me back, they have to make me trust them and that's awfully hard.

Here's one thing that could do it: Delphi for OSX support. For professional development tools, it's always been "do something else" when it came to the Mac. Visual Basic? Nope. Visual C++? Not really. Turbo Pascal or Delphi? Not a chance. But if Borland brought out Delphi for OSX then it sends a very real, "we're serious" message. This would give one tool that could let you build GUI apps across three different platforms. Now that would be awesome.

My thoughts exactly. I've wanted Borland to come out with a development environment for OSX for a while. If they did, you can bet I'd consider them first for any client side development I ever did.

Client side apps? whats that? unless your building a game , a cad app or something similar, building stuff via a client side is dead.. I used to code exclusively in Delphi, built a ton of stuff in it. but since the web I haven't touched Delphi in the last 4 years.. finally most high perfromce client side apps will remain C/C++ there's just too many libraries and development tools out there..
