Delphi XE2 opinions

[KIAman]

I'm not sure how many follow the latest Delphi news but I've went to several Embarcadero conferences featuring Delphi XE2 with Firemonkey and so far, I think this is a huge breakthrough for development, especially cross platform.

So, besides the high cost, what are some opinions on XE2?

Here are some of my favorite feature highlights so far.

Firemonkey
- 3D interactive UI (think flash) using GPU rendering
- Skin UI (think CSS)
- Compile native code into windows (32/64bit), OSX, iOS, Android, linux (soon)
- Multi touch gesture support
- Live bindings - Bind data to any object
