Responses from Mr. Marc Hoffman on the "Dark Side of Apple":
"Here's how you enter a new development platform, of you're this Delphi developer: Step one, compare the platform vendor to the Nazis. Step two, piss all over the existing tools that everyone else developing for that platform has been (successfully) using (Bonus points will be given for for consistently spelling the tools' names wrong). Step three, complain about a $99 charge for a developer program (coz, Delphi is free, after all). Step four, call the developer community the Hitler Youth.

I doubt this was original posts intention.
The moment a brand does the sales and today nothing but the brand sells in the end it must be protected. In order to keep it clean ...
The problem is little different. In the end humans are greedy, take away money from the employer for more or less work and in the end don't want to give it away. This would lead to a collapse of the economy.
Marketing and Sales are here to to squeeze money out of the humans pocket. It cannot be that humans have to bow to discipline of a vendors marketing department in order be accordant to the illusion (Matrix) created ... There is a device and everyone can do with it whatever one likes as long as it's one's own responsibility and does not touch others freedom by providing not working Software. But in this case it is a result from Apple's shop strategy ... you cannot give things back, this is not a store this is a market stand somewhere at the edge of the IT dessert.
Anyway, allow me to describe with a Video how we see the Firemonkey in the Apple world, not looking at it from a technical perspective ...

Meanwhile I have yet to see an article from a Delphi developer which matches this quality http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericlippert/archive/2011/09/07/what-is-this-thing-you-call-a-quot-type-quot-part-two.aspx
