Really? Why do you say Delphi is easier? I work with people that maintain both C# and Delphi UI, and none of them think there is a future in Delphi.

Being a good tool and have a bad management are orthogonal things.

If wanna take a look for your self you can install Lazarus (http://www.lazarus-ide.org/, discussed https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14973706) a close clone of Delphi (version 7).

Or download the free edition (modern):

The problem with Delphi was Borland kind of killed the product by pushing it to enterprises with deep pockets and taking too much time to adapt to 64 bits and newer platforms.

The language itself is still quite ok.
