I'm using Delphi 5 (Both at work and for fun). Haven't really looked much at
LDDP yet but the plugin architecture sounds very interesting.
Unfortunately, Delphi isn't the best choice when going cross-platform. Kylix
(Delphi and C++ for Linux) is a separate product, and Borland has more or
less stopped developing it (at least they have 'promised' "no updates during
2004").
FreePascal is probably the best route for cross-platform in Pascal, it
covers quite a lot of the Delphi language (but not the VCL - Visual
Component Library, of course).
Cross-platform GUI development is not very fun, you can only use the common
elements of all systems, and it's difficult to keep to the 'style' of the
hosting OS. Better to have a pluggable system, and develop separate GUI
parts for each host OS...
