Well, the look-and-feel has to be Delphi-like, so that newcomers don't 
have a too steep learning curve.

I can not work efficiently with Lazarus, due to two problems with the 
editor (LazSynEdit): it can become dead slow, needing seconds of 
computation for a single key stroke, and it doesn't support multiple 
edit windows. This is why I want to contribute to these issues, starting 
with a working docking manager for multiple edit and explorer windows.
