Delphi is still the absolute fastest way to create win32 gui applications, and anybody who disagrees has never used it.
Lazarus is a pretty sweet solution on Linux (or Codetyphoon, if you want more out of the box components).

Glad to see Delphi still alive and being developed. I never used it much but I did use C++ Builder Explorer or something that they released for free probably 10+ years ago. Also does anyone remember Kylix, Borland's short lived Delphi for Linux?
Unimportant tangent, but I think FireMonkey is a terrible name for a UI framework. I don't know why, but I hate it.

From $960 + $399/year.
I think it's quite an accomplishment to survive in the modern world of free software development tools.

Delphi's great. You can rapidly create apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.

I tried Lazarus recently, but I found the IDE to be slow.
