I can make sure you, they're wrong. I'm using FPC/Lazarus on Mac
Leopard on daily basis. Both work well, though Lazarus is still a
Carbon app. Yes, Carbon is about to be deprecated, but it wouldn't be
happen tomorrow, perhaps 2-3 years from now. By the time, I do hope
Cocoa binding already mature enough to replace Carbon.

They're ignorant people. No matter how many facts you're giving to
them, they would still reject them. They'll keep saying FPC/Lazarus
would never leave the "beta" status and not ready to be used on real
work. They just want to have Delphi, or other alternatives, but *not*
FPC/Lazarus. I don't really understand why do they hate FPC/Lazarus so
much? What did we do to them anyway?. :(
