Only thing I do not agree: I think we should not compare Lazarus with Delphi
and other tools. It's a little cheap / bad taste.

I think it's important to have some as-objective-as-possible
comparison for people who used and liked Delphi (like most of us are,
I believe), and are now learning about Lazarus.
In so far it's essential to mention the *differences*, where Lazarus
works and has to be used differently from Delphi. Now that Delphi uses
Unicode strings, it's important to explain the Lazarus string types and
encodings. How to store Unicode, what's the purpose of UTF8ToAnsi,
UTF8ToSys etc.
A newbie cannot know which are Lazarus and which are FPC issues, so
*both* should be covered in *one* place (links may go into existing FPC
pages, of course).
