Yes, it does. It is Delphi.
1) Not everybody owns a copy of Delphi to compare. Since when is it a

Come on, AFAIK FPC and Lazarus have aimed to be Delphi compatible from
the very beginning. You are much longer a member of the Lazarus
community than I am, so you should know better. What do you want to say
with this point?
Or am I somehow absolutely wrong and FPC/Lazarus are so close to Delphi
by accident?
2) FPC seems to target Delphi 7 compatibility - but considering how
old Delphi 7 is, that seems to be a ridiculous goal.
:D OK, MvC and Florian already commented on this. I really don't
understand why there is so much false/misleading information in this
thread from you.
What Delphi version does the Lazarus project try to mimic?
The latest.
3) Does that mean LCL-Win32 being the closest to Delphi.... ie: a
wrapper around the native Win32 controls. Does that mean LCL-Win32 is
the reference implementation for all other LCL widgetsets?
Yes - in a loose way. There are Gtk2 and Qt specific properties in the
LCL as well. See the Restricted tab in object inspector.
4) Continuing with option (3). Are there any defined tests or test
projects that can confirm LCL-Win32 is compatible with Delphi's VCL?
I'm talking about events, order of events firing. And then also
components and properties of said components.
I am not aware of any (which doesn't mean they don't exist).
