Plus - Allows for much easier code reuse - applies compiler paths and units paths for you eg: Create a new CLI project add the MyCoolUnits.lpk as a requirement package and Lazarus IDE does the rest. All unit paths are setup automatically. PS: Remember to specify in the Package Options that the MyCoolUnits.lpk is a runtime only package. That way it doesn't rely on any Lazarus units or LCL. >> thinking of trying Lazarus later.

Lazarus as programmer IDE (editor) is fabulous.
