Anybody who wants his desktop to remain up for a while without having to
reboot it because it loses "system resources" or to install the weekly
security patch.

Whatever's required for the task at hand. I use Perl, PHP, Bash, ksh,
awk, c, c++, VB, VB Script, Ada, Fortran, Cobol. Nothings "the most". It
comes and goes depending on what I'm trying to do however I'd say I've
done a lot of Perl lately and then PHP when doing web things. Never used
Delphi.
