That depends on the environment and purpose.
Disadvantages of Delphi:
1. You neither know nor can influence the companies policies.
2. It's closed source, if it's buggy you're lost.
3. Insecure future!

6. Runs on machines with relatively low memory, compared to D7 (e.g.
256MB for development, 64MB on target here)
7. Saves you a huge amount of licence costs.
8. Has a mailing lists with a lot of funny people to talk to.
