I can't quite understand what your hangup is witht ";" but whatever:
I have been using Delphi since version 2 (about 1996). It is BY FAR the best IDE available. I have worked in a primarily VB shop (only because they have a Microsoft bias) for about 6 years now. I can code an application in Delphi in about 1/3 to 1/2 the time it takes to do it in VB. I can do anything and everything C++ does only more simply and easily. Delphi and VB are like comparing a Porsche with a Taurus. Thanks, but I'll take Delphi!
The biggest downfall with Delphi is its userbase. Borland never has had the advantage of M$. If you're looking for momemtum, then I guess Bill will have the edge. If you're looking for quality, Borland has always been on top.
