I have just found your product Lazarus. I have used Delphi several years ago, but stopped using it. The cost of the advanced features such as client server was the reason. Is Lazarus something that can be used or will it have limitations?

Well, I use it and like it very much =) I have one project that can be compiled with both Lazarus and Delphi and works as well on one as with the other http://magnifier.sourceforge.net/

Limitations basically depend on what you need. Lazarus is well developed for: Database access, GUI design, XML, Hardware Access, cgi, etc ....

If you are more specific about your needs we can give more information.

The biggest advantage of Lazarus over about anything else out there is the LCL. You can code for the LCL, witch is very (~95%) compatible with the VCL, and then compile your program for *native* widgets on each platform!

This means that your program does not require any external libraries to run on different platforms, making it small and fast. Anything else out there (Java, pure Qt, pure Gtk, wxWidgets, etc) will require huge (often 20MB+) libraries to be installed with your application.

There is also some info on the wiki: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/Lazarus_Documentation
