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 :-)
1) I didn't understand this first reason, what do you mean it hide/changes?
2) I agree that the interface of VS and Eclipise(which is very ugly) is
for big displays... but look at your display! It is big, mine is only
1024x768. Don't you think that the title-bar of each windows on Lazarus
is a unused space?
I agree that the name of the stuffs cannot change(at least, severely),
people would get lost, and a lot of the Wiki and documentation should be
updated.
This multi-monitor idea is cool! But probably would work only in the
"undocked mode", I don't see how I could implement a single-window
application with support for a multi-monitor.
