It was the goal that lazarus uses the code of the synedit project with some modifications. And contribute the mods back so that one version can be used for lazarus and delphi.. If the ifdefs are removed, I fear that people start code formatting and refactoring and then it will be much harder/impossible to fetch the differences. Unless you know/write a tool for that. So, it's true that the $else parts are not actively used.
