IMO we (FPC/Lazarus) should be prepared for providing a new home for desparate Delphi coders, which will trash RadStudio for too little and too slow progress, and lack of compatibility, at a too high price. Failing to encourage this move will force most current Delphi coders to use better supported development environments, most likely C#.
Usually I do not interfere in these philosophical debates and just this one won't hurt I believe. I'm a delphinian since TurboPascal DOS and Delphi 1 on Windws 3.11: this a long time ago. I used almost all versions and stopped to buy new releases with D2007. Then I discoreved FPC and Lazaus at my actual job position. And because we develop for Windows as well as Linux platforms I'm very happy in my job using these pair. I'm not involved in GUI applications and that's why I do not really care about visual components. A very important thing for me is the reliability and the fact that FPC+Lazarus are multi-platform. But, closer to my day to day work, the most important feature is obviously the stability and continuity of both projects. I don't know if you can understand how much I'm happy when I change to a new version and I can continue my current job after a few minutes instead of hours or even days and most important perhaps, continue using my habits which means to become productive within minutes. Of course l take afterwards some time to see and learn what's new. You can easily understand why I hate Windo$, but this only my opinion.

Maybe one thing could make happier than now: is it out there any plans to have Lazarus to manage project groups ? It is the only problem which bothers me.

Anyway, having furthermore a team of guys (no girls ?   ;-) )  like you behind the scene lets me very comfortable to go on with my projects. Thanks to you all.

IMO it also would look like much more profitable to me, to make Wirth's Oberon as popular as Delphi was. At a closer look it has a GUI well suited for handhelds, competing with Win8 or other OS for portables. And as its memory is fully garbage collected, it also would fit neatly into any .NET environment. Again I wonder how Niklaus was ahead of the mainstream (hardware) development with his ideas :-)
