IMO we (FPC/Lazarus) should be prepared for providing a new home
for desparate Delphi coders, which will trash RadStudio for too
little and too slow progress, and lack of compatibility, at a
too high price. Failing to encourage this move will force most
current Delphi coders to use better supported development
environments, most likely C#. <br>

Usually I do not interfere in these philosophical debates and just
this one won't hurt I believe. I'm a delphinian since TurboPascal
DOS and Delphi 1 on Windws 3.11: this a long time ago. I used
almost all versions and stopped to buy new releases with D2007.
Then I discoreved FPC and Lazaus at my actual job position. And
because we develop for Windows as well as Linux platforms I'm very
happy in my job using these pair. I'm not involved in GUI
applications and that's why I do not really care about visual
components. A very important thing for me is the reliability and
the fact that FPC+Lazarus are multi-platform. But, closer to my
day to day work, the most important feature is obviously the
stability and continuity of both projects. I don't know if you can
understand how much I'm happy when I change to a new version and I
can continue my current job after a few minutes instead of hours
or even days and most important perhaps, continue using my habits
which means to become productive within minutes. Of course l take
afterwards some time to see and learn what's new. You can easily
understand why I hate Windo$, but this only my opinion.<br>
<br>
Maybe one thing could make happier than now: is it out there any
plans to have Lazarus to manage project groups ? It is the only
problem which bothers me. <br>
<br>
Anyway, having furthermore a team of guys (no girls ? <span
class="moz-smiley-s3"><span> ;-) </span></span>) like you
behind the scene lets me very comfortable to go on with my
projects. Thanks to you all. <br>

IMO it also would look like much more profitable to me, to make
Wirth's Oberon as popular as Delphi was. At a closer look it has
a GUI well suited for handhelds, competing with Win8 or other OS
for portables. And as its memory is fully garbage collected, it
also would fit neatly into any .NET environment. Again I wonder
how Niklaus was ahead of the mainstream (hardware) development
with his ideas :-) <br>
