Hi!
I've not posted here before, but I've been reading this list for about six
months, and I've gotta weigh in on this one.
By way of introduction, I'm the Sr. Software Engineer/Team Lead for a major
consumer electronics company in the US. We've been using C++ Builder for
several years as our PC compiler of choice. It's allowed us to develop robust
applications in very short time spans with very limited resources.

In summary, Lazarus is a fantastic product. It's usable TODAY for commercial
development. We've found it (the IDE) more stable on Windows than it's
commercial counterparts. RAD Studio will generally lock at least one of our
development machines once a day
Oh well, for me Delphi is no longer usable as a debugger since years.
So much for commercial products sometimes :/
- so far we've had only one issue with
Lazarus, and that was on a Mac (and I reported the bug to Mantis, and it was
fixed in three days - try that with you-know-who ....). These discussions are
great, but please don't lose sight of what you've already got - a world class
compiler and development tool that's being used right now to solve serious
real world problems.
Which is exactly why I think that the person who started this thread has
tunnel-vision problems. The glass is half-full for me.
Thank you for this supportive comment !
Michael.
