My propose is ask if you guys would mind if I work on some projects with a different interface and made in Lazarus(of course) to you evaluate. I'm good at create components and customize to give them a stylish appearance like in the case of VS. But I would like to know from you guys first.

I use Lazarus every now and then, generally I work on Eclipse or Visual Studio.

FYI, I deeply hate the "stylish" VS 2010 interface, because:
1) it hides and/or changes position to many things I use
2) eats up too much screen surface (same for Eclipse, I work on 1650x1050 display)

Generally speaking, I think that programs like Lazarus (complex, lots and lots of commands & options) need much work on usability and consistency, i.e. rationale under menu & dialog structure must be always the same, use same names for same things in every place and such. Preferences in Lazarus are particularly messy, probably because there are ten thousand of them :-D

Things like dockable windows, skins or other bells & whistles are not really important to me, and probably to many developers. I never tried if Laz supports multi-monitor displays, but that would be a really nice feature. Configurable menus would be even nicer: the ability to put first what you do really use a lot would be invaluable.

OK stop ranting :-)
