i don't think that delphi is a necessisarily european thing, but i also
noticed a geographical pattern to its useage.
on the west coast ( i live in canada) there are not many posted jobs for
delphi programmers, but on the east coast, well, ok, toronto area, there are
significantly more postings (yes there are more people there, but seems not
proportional).

i think it has something to do with the proximity to Redmond, WA and the
amount of advertising bombardment one is subject to.

i have noticed that there does seem to be a higher level of acceptance of
different tools in EU. there seems to be a 'whatever gets the job done best'
type of attitude. not that i live or work there, just most of the best delphi
tips, tricks and tools that i use come from european programmers.

i can't speak for c builder at all, just my observations regarding delphi.

my two cents worth.
