Yes. 1. Many pascal programmers have several years Delphi experience and are used to the Delphi coding style and naming scheme. So when they create a new method/class, the variables will usually have Delphi names, Delphi block sizes, etc. 2. There was a short discussion some years ago when I started the codetools, how the generated code should look like. I feared that when the codetools class completion creates the same code as Delphi, people will eventually come up with copyright. The only strange thing is that it took 6 years.
