To my understanding, it's kind of a preview release. That doesn't mean
they aren't willing to charge thousands of dollars for pro & enterprise
versions. It just means many of the features are missing. Ergo, it's
still 'on its way' in my book.
(Among the missing features is a clear path from VCL to either CLX or wx
widgets, I'm told. Haven't had the time to test it myself though.)
