Everyone agrees that Lazarus and FPC are unique, highly capable and

tutorials. Support funding would also be encouraging to the people
that have worked so tirelessly on the IDE and compiler for over a
decade.
This blurb is copied and paste for every message that asks for something.
It means nothing. No single feature, action or release ever brought in masses of
new users, funding or code, despite they were always promised.
Today it is a 1.0 label , tomorrow it is GIT, yet the day after it is garbage
collection, threaded for loops, dynamic linking etc.
And all this discussion and hurrying eats into the real work.

Thanks Marco. This post has my full backing. Exactly my opinion.
