You are not paying attention, dear Vincent. Some core Lazarus
developers have created custom controls. The LCL CustomControls should
be a drop-in replacement, should it not?? The IDE already uses some
custom IDE controls, so why would a few more be so wrong?

Using such custom controls should hopefully also stop developers like
myself hacking the LCL backend widgetsets to get features in the IDE -
because the all mighty "native API" doesn't support it. Long before
the IDE allowed you to set tab alignment for the source editor, I
hacked the LCL-GTK2 widgetset to give me right-aligned tabs.
