I would be happy to have all information in one screen too. But IMO it is not that easy. MSEIDE uses a small font and its own dense theme. Lazarus should work with the users theme. And Lazarus needs settings for packages. For example it must be possible to apply some settings only to the project and packages A,B,C, or to all except packages X,Y. And such settings needs to be stored either globally, in the lpi or the lps. So Lazarus needs to handle more information on less space. MSEIDE uses single character abbreviations to save space. That's a bit confusing, but it is ok, because it is the only element. Lazarus needs a grid, where build modes, storage and scope are handled, so abbreviations would be quickly misunderstood. Maybe you have some ideas how to put that into a grid that is easy to understand?
