Graeme and Alexsander, you are warned, if you believe Andreas, then your projects
are to fail. :-)
Don't believe Tony Maro and A.J. Venter, their commercial applications are only used
on linux.
Of course if you want to develop for other platforms than windows, then Delphi is
not ready yet.
Conclusion: If you want to use Lazarus commercially, say your application is for
Linux, then project has a bigger chance of succeeding with Lazarus.

Unfortunatly Lazarus is not yet ready to be used in the comercial world
where development time is of essence. There are many things that greatly
slow down development when it is done via Lazarus. The IDE is not yet as
agile as Delphi's, the debugger is practically useless under windows and
the linker time is totally unacceptable. For that reason I do all
development with Delphi and then port to Lazarus. It is still a lot of
work, but less than developing directly with Lazarus. I am sure we will
solve all this, but in the mean time . . . :(
I develop using Delphi and then compile the Lazarus program from the
command line via a batch file. I have found this faster. I also have my
simple dfm2lfm converter that converts all .dfm files in the root
directory on down to .lfm file and then calls the lazres program.

A quick solution, is to only use Lazarus! :-)
Why would you want the same project to be edited in Lazarus and
Delphi. Is this to achieve cross platform apps? If you are doing a
port from Win32 to say Linux - If you really need Delphi because of
some strange reason, or something Delphi specific, that means the port
will most probably not work under Linux (or worse yet work different).
We just went through that process. We started porting a Delphi app to
Linux, and later decided to drop Delphi completely and now only do
development in Lazarus (Win32 and Linux) and it make our live _much_
easier!

I think it would be nice if we could share a project between the two
IDE's, including the forms. Everytime I need to mantain the "original"
Delphi project, i know that my "under conversion" Lazarus project is
getting more and more obsolete. More over, a lot of
properties/components had to be removed just because they are not
compatible. I can IFDEF the PAS files, but there's nothing I can do
about LFM/DFM files.
