This looks like a one-factor analysis to me. As Pascal said,
you are comparing apples and oranges when you compare Delphi
and Ada 2005, so there might have been other factors leading
to the decision. Perhaps like "Every one is ...", "I learned
Pascal...", etc. Note also the price of Janus/Ada + CLAW,
it's not too high for what you get.

Could you ask your friends what really made them abondon
Ada, not GNAT?
