I agree.

It can get confusing sometimes, especially when you read a message that
says "I use Lazarus" and what they actually mean is they use the Lazarus
IDE and write LCL based software.

I also use Lazarus, but I use the Lazarus IDE to create web, console and
fpGUI applications - hardly ever an LCL application and definitely NOT the
RAD development model, but rather a pure OOP + OPF model (which completely
excludes DB-aware components).

So explaining somewhere what LCL is, should also be important, and that the
Lazarus IDE is NOT only limited to LCL-based applications, but can be used
for multitudes of project types.
