Yes, I have used it for a while a few years ago, when the latest
version (3) came out.
Unfortunately it is VERY outdated and not easy to make work on any of
the later Distro's.
When it was released, you already had to implement patches and do
tricks to get it to work on the latest versions of Distro's.

You can, however try it's replacement - Borland BuilderX, which is a
very nice IDE, written in Java - similar to eclipse.

I have not used BuilderX in a long while, but when I did use it, it
worked quite good.

BTW, Kylix use the native Windows Delphi IDE. They run it using wine.
The compiler is a native Linux compiler, but the IDE is Win32
executables and I found that I had to make certain GNOME settings
changes to get it to work properly.

I would not recommend Kylix.
