I honestly don't know why anyone would spend money for a development
environment, no matter how fancy.  I don't know why anyone would develop
software in a language that doesn't have at least one open
implementation.

It's a great way to get screwed when Borland goes under or decides
they only want to sell a new, incompatible product.  What do you do with
your existing product when that happens?  Re-train on a new platform,
and re-write from scratch?

Just say no to proprietary software.
