Kylix is a port? of Delphi to Linux.

AddToMe: what's this like? Has anyone here used it?

Kylix is, oddly enough, basically identical to Delphi. Same interface, same underlying language, same toolsets. They did redesign the toolsets from Delphi 5, but Delphi 6 and Kylix share the same toolsets. There are some differences, like when you load your database driver dynamically it has a reference to a .dll under Delphi and a .so under Kylix - same concept, different name. This makes porting apps between the two not quite as trivial as Borland would have you believe.

Uses qt? as the widget toolkit, although I believe there will be a choice of widget sets (so-called LookAndFeel]) eventually, if it's not already present in Kylix 3.
