I tend to disagree... Not sure if it exists, but maybe Lazarus should ship _without_ the compiler packaged as an option. I for one develop non-LCL based applications all day with Lazarus. They may not be FreeVision application, but they sure ain't LCL ones either. Why?? Because Lazarus is a brilliant IDE. Cool plugin/packages support (Editor Toolbar and Procedure List come to mind), nice searching (Find in Files) plus all the other nice things like Code Completion, parameter hints, jumping between the Interface and Implemenation of code etc... The FP IDE as far as I know doesn't support most of what I mentioned. I wouldn't want to use any other editor for my Object Pascal development. Just the other day I needed to setup a Windows PC with Lazarus and FPC 2.2. I had to download the bundled Lazarus+FPC 2.0.4 setup (the only windows choice), just to delete all the FPC 2.0.4 directories and replace it with FPC 2.2. I think that's a waste. As far as I remember the Linux and Mac OS X versions of Lazarus doesn't come bundled with FPC.
