That applies to "look & feel" only. They have to reimplement widgets for
each new platform they want to support, hunt for bugs in the common LCL
code and each platform's backend code etc... All things a custom drawn
widgetset doesn't need to worry about.

See, both options have there pros and cons.  :-)


Anyway, we are totally off-topic here. ;-)  This thread was meant to
address the lack of a stable Lazarus (IDE and LCL).
