I use Lazarus every now and then, generally I work on Eclipse or
Visual Studio.<br>
<br>
FYI, I deeply hate the "stylish" VS 2010 interface, because:<br>
1) it hides and/or changes position to many things I use<br>
2) eats up too much screen surface (same for Eclipse, I work on
1650x1050 display)<br>
<br>
Generally speaking, I think that programs like Lazarus (complex,
lots and lots of commands & options) need much work on
usability and consistency, i.e. rationale under menu & dialog
structure must be always the same, use same names for same things
in every place and such. Preferences in Lazarus are particularly
messy, probably because there are ten thousand of them :-D<br>
<br>
Things like dockable windows, skins or other bells & whistles
are not really important to me, and probably to many developers. I
never tried if Laz supports multi-monitor displays, but that would
be a really nice feature.<br>
Configurable menus would be even nicer: the ability to put first
what you do really use a lot would be invaluable.<br>
<br>
OK stop ranting :-)<br>

1) I didn't understand this first reason, what do you mean it
hide/changes?<br>
2) I agree that the interface of VS and Eclipise(which is very ugly)
is for big displays... but look at your display! It is big, mine is
only 1024x768. Don't you think that the title-bar of each windows on
Lazarus is a unused space?<br>
<br>
I agree that the name of the stuffs cannot change(at least, <span
id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="en"><span class="hps">severely</span></span>),
people would get lost, and a lot of the Wiki and documentation
should be updated.<br>
<br>
This multi-monitor idea is cool! But probably would work only in the
"undocked mode", I don't see how I could implement a single-window
application with support for a multi-monitor.<br>
