I'm collecting list of cool and well known applications written in Delphi so that we can show to our clients about Delphi's popularity. If anyone of you know any other well known applications, kindly add. Thanks.

1. OptiPerl <http://www.xarka.com/optiperl/features.html> (Coolest and creative editor I have ever seen)
2. Skype <http://www.skype.com/>
3. Inno Setup <http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php>

Incidentally, do they use Indy in Skype?

If I'm not mistaken, I think the products at JGSoft (EditPad,
RegExBuddy, PowerGrep) are all Delphi products. I consider these cool
apps.

It's not an application, but it's really cool and there's a downloadable
demo with the Encephalon web built in to a browser. :)

InstallAware is made with VCL, but I'm not sure if they use Delphi or C++
Builder. As VCL is made with Delphi you can probably say it's made using
Delphi anyway...

That is a fantastic, massively useful app and I had no idea it
was written in Delphi either - it just got even better :-)

I noticed this was listed with Evil Ogre. I was considering using them for
some of my products, but found their terms very expensive, especially
considering they don't yet have the name recognition of other ways of
marketing your product. Are your experiences different? Do you recommend
them?

I don't know what you mean by "found their terms very expensive". I found
you pay your $149 and that's it. Like buying any other Delphi 3rd party
components. Did I miss something?

It is made with Delphi- there's a clue in the article below- they ported
to .NET and ported back to native. They did that because they used
Delphi and porting back was pretty easy. :-)

Feel free to discuss this on the wiki:

http://delphi.wikicities.com/index.php?title=Talk:Good_Quality_Applications_Built_With_Delphi&action=edit

If there are apps that you feel really do not belong in there then say
so. It is a wiki after all- it can actually be edited. ;-) If people
disagree with your edits they'll change them back, but it is worth a try.

Also, you could just post a few suggestions here and see whether people
agree or disagree.

Personally, I think that MOST on that list are actually "high profile".
I've heard of all but a few. The only ones I don't know about are:

eEmpACT
Exchequer Enterprise
Avant Browser
FastStone Image Viewer
VVVV
AquaSoft DiaShow XP five

All the others I've heard about through reputable sources and they've
been mentioned by others frequently etc. Also, if you look at their web
sites they either seem very professional, or they've had good reviews
from various sources etc.

Thanks,
Kevin.

Sorry I didn't explain myself. I mean as a software developer, if you want
to market your product with them, they take a huge chunk of the money.

I take it back, you can still buy it, version 5.5
(http://www.macromedia.com/software/homesite/) but it was hard to find and
it's not listed as an included product in Dreamweaver nor Studio (though the
Homesite page says it's included as Homesite+).

Still, looks like it's being phased out completely...

Well I haven't really looked at any others. I figured I would promote mine
as shareware via tucows, download.com, etc. I've joined the association of
shareware professionals and I think with the right exposure and doing some
SEO on my sites I don't need another company to promote my product. You can
try this company to promote your shareware. I haven't tried them yet, but
they seem reputable: http://www.sharewarepromotions.com/index.html

Hi,

Brazilian IRS app, free downloaded from government site, is made with Delphi
(now there's also a Java client though). Milions of people like use it
yearly for calculating their taxes, and it was quite a breeze when it came,
compared to the old, pen and paper forms.

Incidentally, I will be taking a look at your app... I've been wanting
to submit a Google sitemap but didn't like the idea of playing around
with the Python tools etc. that were out there. A Delphi tool is just
what is needed!!

Thanks!

Hope you like it. Let me know if you think anything should be
changed/added. Although I'm pretty close to release so it may have to be in
1.1 :)

i might be mistaken, but i don't think they wrote a compiler, but rather the IDE for existing compilers (mingw or gnu c++)

Yeah, I was just using this one the other day as I rushed to do my tax

Thanks for the info.

Actually, we've known about this for a little while now.
Unfortunately, we don't host or maintain our own website. We're trying
to convince management to bring the site back in-house, because it is a
major pain to get little things like this fixed.

The joys of outsourcing, huh? :-)

We have a lot of our network admin stuff outsourced (we are a company
of about 10 employees, so you can see why it's needed :-\). Whenever we
want another port opened on the firewall or some such, we have to get a
guy in to do it for us.

Yeah. And management keeps dreaming that they can outsource project

We have 20 employees. We had 12 when I was hired 6 years ago. ;)

Actually, we only had 18 last month, three of which are developers.
We've just hired two new developers, bringing the team up to five, and
25% of the staff! :D

WOW, this is amazing. Finally the applications that I have known. Another cool/popular application I have found written in Delphi is WinRAR.

Thanks, that's amazing. Do you mean <http://www.tntware.com/delphicontrols/unicode/> as TNT components? (apologies for my ignorance). Isn't Delphi natively support Unicode?

Natively Delphi does, but the VCL does not, which is what TNT is,
effectively a unicode-ized VCL.

Actually, for Protel, I *think* it was C++Builder. I remember seeing it

Probably they use different languages. They write on the site (in some
pdf tech articles) that scripting system and also toolbars are written
on Delphi. But job requirements for graduates are pascal, Delphi, C++
Builder, MS VC (looked through the site after my first post).

Cool. After looking at their interface, I would think it would have been
hard to keep the UI in BCB since their hasn't been a new version until recently...
