Yes the language has evolved, but due to backwards compatibility not much as been dropped.
New things include operator overloading of records (structs), compile-time generics and closures/anonymous functions.
Using them you can write code that looks quite different from old Turbo Pascal days.
As for why using it except legacy, yeah... tough question. Well if your target is a Win32-only GUI application, then I don't know much that beats the VCL in getting things done. But that's a narrow niche these days.
