Me personally, I love delphi and have little interest in using "c" like languages. I also have a good amount of 3rd party components I paid for that just makes sense for me to want to use Delphi. You need to make your own decision on what's best for you.

I see IPad, IPhone, android, etc. as the big future and JCL has no interest but windows for his engine (big mistake in my opinion). with Delphi XE2, you create apps for Mac OSX, IPad, IPhone.
