Delphi is developed in Delphi based on a compiler that has reached version 8 (Delphi 1.0) and 9 (Delphi 2.0). While it's a new product it's based on something "old" and proven. The same guy (Anders Hejlsberg) have been in charge of development of the compiler all this time and I guess that count for something as well.

VB takes the minimalist's approach: Virtually no API encapsulation, little or no OOP and a simple IDE (specially the form designer). While VB crashed rarely, all the apps made in VB seemed to burst into flames and die if I didn't remember to put the silly "On Error Goto" thingies in each and every function/event handler. VB makes you produce silly code with lots of gotos in them... :-(
