Everybody do what they want and can do.

And we are (lazarus developers) not application developers you think? Do 
you think I know much about debugging formats? Know how to fix that 
drawf or stabs? No, although I tried. Lazarus gdb interface has been 
written by a lazarus developer and Duby has been written also by a 
lazarus developer. I don't remember much patches from the community into 
that part of lazarus. Also some debugger related patches was contributed 
to fpc project by lazarus developers.

I did not imply that to you. I just said that you can't blame others 
because they don't do something you need because they do something else.
