I use Lazarus every now and then, generally I work on Eclipse or Visual 
Studio.

FYI, I deeply hate the "stylish" VS 2010 interface, because:
1) it hides and/or changes position to many things I use
2) eats up too much screen surface (same for Eclipse, I work on 
1650x1050 display)

Generally speaking, I think that programs like Lazarus (complex, lots 
and lots of commands & options) need much work on usability and 
consistency, i.e. rationale under menu & dialog structure must be always 
the same, use same names for same things in every place and such. 
Preferences in Lazarus are particularly messy, probably because there 
are ten thousand of them :-D

Things like dockable windows, skins or other bells & whistles are not 
really important to me, and probably to many developers. I never tried 
if Laz supports multi-monitor displays, but that would be a really nice 
feature.
Configurable menus would be even nicer: the ability to put first what 
you do really use a lot would be invaluable.

OK stop ranting :-)
