Well, the look-and-feel has to be Delphi-like, so that newcomers don't have a too steep learning curve. > I personally don't consider Lazarus IDE a > clone of Delphi IDE.

I can not work efficiently with Lazarus, due to two problems with the editor (LazSynEdit): it can become dead slow, needing seconds of computation for a single key stroke, and it doesn't support multiple edit windows. This is why I want to contribute to these issues, starting with a working docking manager for multiple edit and explorer windows.
