I've been using Delphi for years. I can zap up a quick apps in minutes,
such as serial comms for testing PIC code in just minutes. As with any
software package these days, there will be a learning curve, but stick
with it, I'm sure it will do well - plus it was free ;-)

The basic form is a big part of Windows and is very functional. Resize
it, draw on it, write on it, minimize it, etc. etc. etc. It obviously
takes a lot of code to implement. Just click on the blank form on the
IDE and press F1 to see how much makes up a form.

You can have formless applications which shrink the app size
dramatically.
