I sometimes miss the support from FPC team for framework and user requirements. The framework devels can't develop the compiler them self. But don't you think, a compiler, where the main purpose is to compile it self, is a little bit sparse? Don't you think the FPC team should ecourage IDE and framework devels to use their compiler and the FPC team should support them as much as they can, same as we (the framework devels) do with our customers? We had that theme already with FCL and RTL, do you remember? Now I don't use FCL and RTL anymore if there are other possibilities because doing it on my own is less work, less time consuming, normally with better results and more fun and less frustration.
