MS now have a free version of Visual Studio

https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/free-developer-offers-vs.aspx

called Visual Studio Community. I downloaded it and used it
(it is needed for using Intel free Fortran compiler, for
students, it is free, since this compiler is integrated with
windows visual studio and has a nice GUI debugger).

Delphi from embarcadero also have a free version called
Delphi Starter Edition, for personal use only.

But the commericals versions are expensive yes.
