Usually I do not interfere in these philosophical debates and just this 
one won't hurt I believe. I'm a delphinian since TurboPascal DOS and 
Delphi 1 on Windws 3.11: this a long time ago. I used almost all 
versions and stopped to buy new releases with D2007. Then I discoreved 
FPC and Lazaus at my actual job position. And because we develop for 
Windows as well as Linux platforms I'm very happy in my job using these 
pair. I'm not involved in GUI applications and that's why I do not 
really care about visual components. A very important thing for me is 
the reliability and the fact that FPC+Lazarus are multi-platform. But, 
closer to my day to day work, the most important feature is obviously 
the stability and continuity of both projects. I don't know if you can 
understand how much I'm happy when I change to a new version and I can 
continue my current job after a few minutes instead of hours or even 
days and most important perhaps, continue using my habits which means to 
become productive within minutes. Of course l take afterwards some time 
to see and learn what's new. You can easily understand why I hate 
Windo$, but this only my opinion.

Maybe one thing could make happier than now: is it out there any plans 
to have Lazarus to manage project groups ? It is the only problem which 
bothers me.

Anyway, having furthermore a team of guys (no girls ? ;-) )  like you 
behind the scene lets me very comfortable to go on with my projects. 
Thanks to you all.

Antonio.
