Qt or Delphi... If you were to choose one over the other?

If you had a differential of either venturing into Delphi land or Qt land which would you choose? I know they are not totally comparable. I for one have Windows development experience with Builder C++ (almost Delphi) and MFC (almost Qt), with a bit more time working with Builder C++. Please take out the cross platform ability of Qt in your analysis.

I'm hoping for replies of people who have worked with both and how he or she would compare the framework, environment, etc.?

Thank you in advance for your replies.

Pick Delphi if your concern are native Win32 speed, a first class RAD environment and executable size. Pick QT if you need a truly cross-platform framework coupled with a now-flexible licensing policy and don't mind slightly bloated code.

I ported an old Delphi program under QT/C++, and I must say that QT is the framework that comes closest to VCL in terms of ease of use and power (IMHO)
