Kylix was released with a boatload of hoopla, then trashed in at least
three separate reviews I read. I admit, I haven't tried it, but judging
by some of the comments from people who've actually tried to be
productive with this thing, it's pretty horrible. 

IIRC, Borland slashed the price on Kylix right after some of the initial
reviews, but it seeminly hasn't helped much. I doubt it will die, but it
needs a thorough makeover. I'm also not sure of a FreeBSD port. There's
enough trouble getting NVIDIA's suits to recognize FreeBSD as a
potential market, and I think there may be the same trouble for Kylix.

I could be wrong though. Nahh.. ;)
