Size of the distribution package. I have recently made friends with a couple of former VB6 developers who have switched to Delphi and I have asked them why they had not chosen .NET. In spite of what many of you have already said in this forum, they believe that the size of the Framework is a serious deterrent. They basically confirm what I have been saying for ages. The fact that Vista and Seven contain the FW does not solve the main problem: most people are still using XP where the presence of the .NET FW cannot be taken for granted.
Since I discovered Delphi and Lazarus, VB has become history to me.
