DPI issue.<br>
<br>
The current problems with Lazarus-IDE as I see it:<br>
- The IDE looks like something from the year 2002. If new users look
at the IDE then they<br>
might think that you can only develop old fashion ugly programs
with it.<br>
- IDE doesn't look good on high dpi screen. Form designing is hard
on high dpi screens.<br>
- The debugger is bad. (can't inspect objects)<br>
- Multiplatform isn't working. No GTK3, no QT5, no Cocoa on the Mac,
no 64 bits on the Mac.<br>
They only platform that really works is Windows. (but we had
Delphi already)<br>
- It might be better to drop all those native widgets sets (and the
LCL) if you can't get it to work<br>
and put your development energy in the QT framework for all
platforms.<br>
- Development is still in subversion SVN. I hate SVN (and i'm not
alone). Please switch to GIT. <br>
Nobody is using SVN. Even Microsoft is using GIT!
(well...sometimes).<br>
- Stop trying to be compatible with Delphi. Delphi is a non
standard. Try to make something <br>
better then Delphi.<br>
- Stop thinking "one size fits all". Lazarus is getting more and
more behind supporting new <br>
technologies. It's just to much to cope with (or too few
fpc/lazarus developers).<br>
- Not important but drop the name Lazarus. I hate religious names.
Just pick something from<br>
Star Wars or Star Trek or some other high tech science fiction.
Nerds and geeks will understand <br>
this :-). Lazarus in Dutch is a drunken man. Everyone start
looking odd if I'm saying "I'm <br>
developing in Lazarus".<br>
<br>
Just a few things you can send to the developers list.<br>
Maybe some of my points make sense, maybe not, but whatever you main
developers do: <br>
"keep the fun going!"<br>
<br>
