Welche Delphi Version wird am meisten eingesetzt?

Posted by Olaf Monien in Miscellaneous, tags: ,

English abstract: This posting is about a “Which Delphi version do you use?” poll. We are currently focussing on the German market, but if you like you may vote as non-German too of course.

Es gibt/gab sicherlich schon viele Umfragen zu diesem oder einem vergleichbaren Thema, aber dennoch haben wir von DelphiExperts mal einen Poll zum Thema “Welche Delphi Version setzen Sie hauptsächlich ein” aufgesetzt.

Die Ergebnisse verändern sich sicherlich im Laufe der Zeit, daher ist es eigentlich besonders interessant diese Frage permanent zu beobachten. Insbesondere da wir von den DelphiExperts ja speziell auch Training und Beratung zu Delphi anbieten und daher natürlich beobachten müssen, was denn die Delphi-Benutzer-Basis überhaupt derzeit einsetzt.

Zu anderen ist das Ganze auch ein Experiment mit dem Umfragesystem wie es von www.polldaddy.com angeboten wird. Man kann hier auf erstaunlich flexible Art “Polls” (genau eine Frage mit mehreren Ankreuzmöglichkeiten) und “Surveys” (beliebig viele Fragen mit verschiedenen Antwort-Typen) erstellen und verwalten. Selbst der kostenlose “Free Account” ist bereits praktisch einsetzbar.

Die Befragung wird auf www.delphiexperts.net und auch auf anderen Blogs/Webseiten sichtbar sein. Die Ergebnisse werden zentral zusammen geführt – doppelte Stimmen werden von www.polldady.com dabei mit einer gewissen Wahrscheinlichkeit erkannt und aussortiert.

    Ey, come on ;-)
    I'm using Prism mainly for my own work and some customer's projects and Delphi 7 when I work for a certain customer on his projects. After that, that is what I do most. So I'd love to chose Prism, but when looking at the amount of work I have to choose D7.

    Why is Prism as another technology (native vs. .Net) listed here anyway? There should be another poll where delphians can select if they use Prism over C# / VB.Net / F# / IronWhatsoever .Net languages.
  • So the conclusion is that Delphi 7 is the Delphi version you are still using most. We are not looking for the /reasons/ though why you don't use any newer Delphi version. That might be something to be researched later.

    We are not comparing Delphi Prism against C# or VB.Net here. We only want to know if there are any dev shops working on .NET projects with Delphi Prism for more than 50% of their time. Again, we are not looking for /reasons/ why one chose C# over Prism or vice versa.

    The current (non representative) result is, that D2007 is used as the main dev tool by 40% of all who voted. D2009 has a rate of 20%, which is not too bad, but after one year surprisingly less. If that trend should be manifested later, then I think this would be an important message for Delphi's product management: "A release cycle of one year is too short"

    Hrm. Actually another message one could think of is: "Delphi (even an update) is too expensive to upgrade on a regular basis."

    A Delphi Prof. update is 400€ per seat. Also there is a migration effort to be done and over all training costs are necessary sometimes. Upgrading simply is too expensive for my customer that has the D7 projects out there. Upgrading roughly 20 seats, upgrading all used components (if there are upgrades for 2k9), training the developers and migrating the applications is approximately an investment of 30.000€ (20k in licences + one or two weeks of training). But then 20+ developers are busy for at least another one or two weeks just migrating the current projects. This have to be counted in additionally.

    If this upgrade will make the team more efficient that an investment of this size will pay out after a year or so is questionable. Let alone the current economy problems.

    I can fully understand all people not upgrading. I doubt I will buy weaver. The things that pay my bills are D7 and Prism. In this order ;-)
