Thanks for the positive thinking! Usually people complain how buggy Lazarus is and how it still misses crucial features. Did you dream about Lazarus 2.0 after falling asleep? How did it look like? :) The development version (trunk) already has new features like configurable IDE Coolbar and configurable desktops + many other improvements. They will surely be in next release. Also Projects Groups will be there most likely. Improved Unicode support breaks some code and justifies the big version change. Not sure what other features will be in time, but there surely is a lot to improve! Dynamic packages (mentioned by others). Proper Right-To-Left support (mentioned by others). Integrated Pascal debugger (fpdebug) to get rid of GDB and its bugs + limitations. A way to search and install online packages from global repositories. Support more widgetsets. Easier cross-compilation. Fix the > 1700 open bug reports. Better documentation. Etc... etc...
