fpGUI works with any IDE or editor - their are no dependencies to a
specific IDE.

Going from VCL to GTK or GTK2 is bound cause problems too (I know), so it
is not as if it is simply going to be a re-compile and be done with it.
fpGUI is also quite easy to learn and has other benefits too. I just
thought it might be beneficial for the original poster to know all his
options available to him (unlike when I moved away from Delphi). Obviously
MSEide and MSEgui is another option, but that is very different to VCL
(steep learning curve). Though different is not always bad.
