Activities around making free open-source alternative to MS .NET (Mono,
dotGNU) and Visual Studio .NET (MonoDevelop,SharpDevelop) are very intensive
and rapidly aproaches to the final goal.
With recent incuding of Stetic, It is easy to forseen that MonoDevelop will
soon become visual RAD tool comparable to Visual Studio. Also, it will
probably be working on Windows too, in some not very distant future.
SharpDevelop, with its support for Windows Forms, is even now completely
functional and is great alternative to Visual Studio on Windows platform.
With it's support for Mono and GTK# it will probably evolve to
cross-platform RAD tool.
So, my questions is whether Lazarus can compete MonoDevelop and SharpDevelop
in the era of .NET in both WIndows and Linux?
Will Lazarus face similar fate like Delphi?
Just for thinking, not for arguing...
