I have colleague who still write desktop application in Delphi. I sometimes work with him and to observe how he write Delphi, which is quite impressive, and the performance is remarkable. However, it is really bad at some points.

First, it is not friendly to web, we have some special web requirements, we decided to spawn a node process to do it.

Second, the tooling is so much better in Visual Studio. And the compiler is so much smart with sophisticated and syntactic analysis.

Last but not least, it really lacks 3rd party libraries so people always need to implement themself.

C# may not be the best option for any application. But it is general enough to almost support every types of application.
