Sorry for the misunderstanding. I did consider this possibility because 
we have hundreds of Kylix projects which are still alive, and need 
maintenance. Kylix IDE can only be used on old platforms/virtual 
machines but the compiler and the applications still run in the most 
recent ones.
Until recently I wasn't aware of the possibility of extending the IDE 
designer via a Mediator. But given this possibility, I find much more 
interesting and stimulating the attempt to take advantage of this 
feature, than the boring task of converting hundreds of Kylix 
applications to LCL!
