You can't compare Visual Studio and RAD Studio. They solve different problems. The later is an Object Pascal IDE (with C++ support for RTL, VCL etc). I don't use RAD Studio for C++ so can't comment there. I use Visual Studio for C++ projects. Why are people so intent on sticking to free? If you want to learn object pascal you don't need RAD Studio. If want to use VCL, Firemoney and their RTL then of course you pay for this if you're making money from their tools. They give you a free version that you can make up to $5,000 with. Folks, that's really not difficult to make that money when you become more skilled. I sell software, and I can fully appreciate Embarcadero's business model. I don't think the hate towards Embarcadero is very fair. The obvious alternative is Lazurus, which is also great. Just to also reiterate, why would Embarcadero kill a model that generates new paying users? It would be silly to kill free. They will not do that.

I don't think there are much. I wrote some in French (https://delphi.developpez.com/tutoriels/firemonkey/intro-styles-firemonkey-xe4/) and I wrote also tips in my French blog https://www.developpez.net/forums/blogs/138527-sergiomaster/. But my predilection subject is more TListview than TListBox. It's true that I am thinking writing an opus on these 2 components, but it is a long process I can't insert in my professional agenda. I still have some problems with TListview, adding some more delay (and chapter) to the goal

When you compare Embarcaderos product portfolio with Microsofts you should notice some ridiculous differences as well. You just can't make that much money on selling IDEs or developer tools alone. Please get real. Office Suites alone generate a much higher income, add an OS to that and giving away an IDE for practically nothing seems to barely make a dent in the profits.
