A choice instead of what?

When FireMonkey is different from the VCL, it's also different from the 
LCL. Your choice would mean fpMonkey *instead* of Lazarus.

OTOH it would be nice to use the Lazarus IDE with other libraries than 
LCL. Hard to do, though, since many IDE windows have to be overridden 
(OI, component palette, form designers, package installer...)
