I sucessfully got I think a simple trial going on Lazarus under Win32 a year ago, then simply recompiled it under a Linux distro and it worked out of the box! I did not have the opening to try it under Mac.
I really really love that concept - isn't the Delphi roadmap promising something similar? It does not feel as smooth as Delphi at all - but I like the way it has grown since I last looked. I know what you mean "I didn't like the Lazarus IDE much " it looks the same sometimes but does not "feel" the same when you go to do things - but then it is different any way. I like the standard set of controls, quite advanced from what I actually expected, and it looks like they've had native MySql and PostGres support quite early on. Its sort of like a counsin you've never met before, who was bought up differently to yourself, acts a bit differently, but has a family resembelance none the less.
