fenixproductions:
I wonder is this sale the part of some bigger plan for resurrecting whole IDE or just last effort before sinking. Embarcadero has been sleeping for a long time and some developers moved on to VS or Lazarus. How is it supposed to get them back?
Well, even Christian Ghisler is rewriting Total Commander for Lazarus.

--- End quote ---
I don't think they're anywhere near sinking. There are still quite a few entrenched areas that just I know of with huge contracts, that are in government agencies, which aren't known for change. It's just hard for individual developers to make a living off of it, since the places that I know that are entrenched are the types of places where people stay forever.
And it's not really a "sale" so much as another SKU in a different vertical- it would seem that they are trying to reach out to the developers they eschewed with the destruction of the turbo editions.
