And so, why is Delphi more popular than BlackBox?

I have never understood why elegance fails to win in the market place.
It seems that complexity and obfuscation grabs people more.
Why is this?

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I read this message enquiring

about Delphi 2010 in the Delphi newsgroup today:



"My question is this: has Delphi caught up with OLE yet, allowing objects to

be embedded in a code file? For documentation purposes I would like to embed

in the surce code file objects like images, equations, and hyperlinks - very

useful to the human reader of the code, but simply ignored by the compiler."



(BTW the answer is 'No')



Needless to say I directed them to the BlackBox site ...
