Specifically, Kylix uses Borland's CLX components.  
If you use CLX when writing your code  in either Delphi6+ or Kylix, 
the same code will compile without alteration in either tool.
Kylix puts its own wrappers around Qt 3.0 widgets to make the
CLX components.  Kylix will come with the CLX source.  
Supposedly Borland will be releasing a free version of Kylix for
creating GPL code only. Kylix uses Object Pascal as its language.  
Coders coming from Visual Basic or Visual FoxPro will have a steep 
learning curve because Pascal is highly structured and strongly typed. 
KDevlop uses C++ as its language.
There is another Pascal GUI RAD for Linux called Lazerus.  It uses
the Free Pascal (called 'cheeta', I think).  It's not too far along but
if they don't give up it will be come a fine tool.
Linux now has C++ and Pascal covered.
