Which one Should i Choose ??? .NET or Delphi

Recently , i was in discussion with My manager as well the client in moving an application from Delphi to .NET ( Visual Studio 2010 ) and thought myself Which one is Better?? and was struck up with no clear answer. Here's i compare two technologies ( Not Technically but just about what i feel ) and this is just my opinion and others might well disagree with me too . Here we go . Anders Hejlsberg was involved in C# and for Delphi too and this puts me in a quetion on there might be similarities too ... C# / .NET C# is a simple and very well defined language . Its from Microsoft and .NET is the future for Development on the Microsoft Platform. Visual Studio's Code Editor and the Options of the Extensions / Addons to the IDE brings me more functions to be brought together in single IDE / Place especially Code Compare too and Data Compare tool etc Excellent Community Support for .NET .
