Elsewhere, somebody's posted this:
"But we already own Delphi XE2. My understanding is that Lazarus is still
clunky compared with Delf at basic IDE-and-forms stuff; Lazarus doesn't
support key familiar libraries that we rely on to slap together the basic
elements (Jedi, Virtual Treeview, <cough> Quickreport...), so Laz's
connectivity to MySQL doesn't really enter into the equation."
Can anybody comment on the extent to which this is still fair comment, so
that I can feed *accurate* facts back?
- Virtual Treeview is supported AFAIK.
- Jedi code library is very tied to Windows (and Delphi, for that matter).
Much of the code will probably work (on Windows) but I'd expect a rough
transition.
- Quickreport can be replaced with Lazreport, or even FastReport when using Qt.
But I would not spend time trying to convince people who are not willing to
use a different toolset (cfr. "Key familiar libraries"). It is an unthankful
task.
