I have known Lazarus for a longer time, but have started to use
it (very) recently, because
(1) It is now usable on Mac OS X (powerpc-darwin).
(2) It now actually works well enough to do realistic applications
(I hope to publish my project later today.)
But Lazarus still has serious limitations, which could easily scare people
away (in completeness, func. quality, reliability, and documentation).
I have decided against using Lazarus in my teaching at this moment
(though I will mention it; instead, we'll use Delphi/bare FPC). But I
do use the FreePascal compiler (for many years already) in my teaching.
FPC is also used heavily by the informatics olympiad community (where
the lack of a good (Linux) Pascal IDE is still considered problematic).
(Will respond later to marketing mails etc. Good work!)
