Well it depends on your needs. I am partial to:

http://www.djangoproject.com for web stuff but I also hear really good
things about Turbogears. Both of these are Python based which has
excellent cross platform capabilities (including Win32).

In general Ruby on Rails *feels* like more a vehicle with 600 HP just to
drive 10 miles to work. Why?

Also in terms of Delphi... I would actually pick Python over Delphi at
this point.  I like Delphi and have actually written a couple of
articles on Kylix (Delphi for Linux) but IMHO the time for closed
languages is over.

Use a language that is OSS and actively developed. Python, Ruby or if
you must Perl or Java ;)
