I would like to hear of others actually have a better proposal for Lazarus.

sorry, I have no idea since I am doing primarily embedded stuff. Speed and backward compatibility are the most important factors to me.

But it seems, that not everybody is happy with the current Codegear Unicode solution:

After reading this thread, I am not sure, if Delphi 2009 compatibility is a must for FPC/Lazarus.

The complaints there are about lack of backwards compatibility, i.e. people need to suddenly replace char by ansichar.

FPC will remain 100% compatible with old code. This is why there need to be separate platforms. Platforms where char=ansichar for full compatibility and platforms where char=widechar to take advantage of full Unicode.
