Why developers prefer Delphi over Visual Basic and PowerBuilder:
- 15 to 50 times performance gains from the world's fastest 32-bit
native-code compiler
Visual Basic and PowerBuilder are p-code interpreters.
- Increase productivity and save time and money with more than
90 reusable components
Visual Basic and PowerBuilder users have to buy additional components.
- Shorten the application development cycle by reusing code and
components with a robust object-oriented architecture
Visual Basic and PowerBuilder are not object-oriented.
- Easily build logo-compliant Windows 95 applications with the
suite of Windows 95 common controls
PowerBuilder does not have a Windows 95 product yet.
