They were never developed under Delphi.
I wrote some small code tools with Delphi, learned that there was
some misconceptions and started new from scratch. This was years ago,
and fpc+laz were merely a hobby. I tried to do be Delphi compatible.
But I never needed them under Delphi, so I never tested the IFDEFs, and
a year later fpc+laz were good enough and so I only wrote mode
objfpc, which I liked from the very beginning.
The only part of lazarus, which I wrote with Delphi, were some parts of
the object inspector. But nowadays there is not much left of it.
Then I used some weeks emacs, then I wrote a small editor with Delphi,
used it with wine several weeks until I had improved lazarus enough.
