Small addition:
For me a strong reason for both FPC and Delphi compared to the others is that
single exe deployment is still so doable.
For a lot of small stuff that I only deliver once, I don't want to set up
a complicated deployment system, or argue with external IT departments
about the addition of runtime libraries.
