It is not practical because the plan is to have Debug and Release
modes by default. They are useful for anyone.
I doubt that. See Michael's, Dodi's and my mails.
Which ones?
There are many mails from 2 Michaels...
Michael Van Canneyt wrote a mail, that I am not sure what exactly he
meant was not needed by less experienced users.

I can see why you're making this new page.
But this new page only makes sense when you use different build modes:
For build modes, I think it is an elegant solution that lets you see
in one glance, what options are used in the various modes.
But build modes I consider something that only experts or powerusers
will use, those who do many builds for different targets/platforms.
build modes here are in context of target/platform. Looking at the last
statement, I am not sure this includes/excludes debug/release
The normal, casual user does not need this.
"This" the new page, or build modes ?
For a casual user, the 'old' interface is clear, simple and accessible.
This old interface already had build modes.
Maybe Michael can clarify.

At least there should exist a Lazarus version for beginners, that
allows to e.g. evaluate Lazarus/FPC without studying usage
instructions for a long time.
Don't forget the audience that should *start* using Lazarus, what's
their background (previously used IDE...).
This again leaves the question if it is just the new features, or would
include a pre-defined debug/release build mode.
In fact a debug/release build mode might help *some* (probably not a
huge amount, but some) people, when it comes to the size of the exe....
