I didn't get into it much, but many developers are upset about the .NET dependency in the IDE in last few Delphi releases. Now they can't run the Delphi IDE via WINE, which apparently many of them did for Delphi 7 etc... CodeGear staff mentioned reusing refactoring features of the .NET framework in the IDE and some other stuff for the editor etc...
