VB 2005 or Delphi 2006?

Possibly a daft question here but, hey, whatever.

I have been using Delphi in various guises for a number of years but now
wonder whether there is any clear advantage to switching to VB2005 (or at
least using it concurrently).

Views please.

Not really. If anything, if you use Delphi 2006 you can enjoy the best of
both worlds -- evelopment using the .NET framework as well as native windows
applications with the very solid VCL library.

If your codebase is mainly implemented in Delphi, I'd continue to use
Delphi.
