What I understand is that most people expected a Win32 IDE to Build Win32 Applications, instead, TurboDelphi for Win32 is a .NET IDE to build Win32 Applications.
Yup. But, actually we can make Turbo Delphi run without any .Net dependencies. Because the core IDE itself is actually a win32 application. The .Net dependend parts are some of the IDE modules which can be disabled, but we'll lost some of IDE features as the consequences.

This makes Free Pascal/Lazarus on win32 a better choice for many aspects than the TurboDelphi Explorer.
FPC as compiler, yes it is a better choice. But Lazarus as IDE on win32 platform, no... due to its lack of important features. I've been playing around with Turbo Delphi today and found the IDE is a lot better than Delphi 7 I used to work with. And, be fair... Lazarus is too far behind Delphi IDE. :)
I don't want criticize nothing and nobody, everyone can make his choices, but I'd like a time when FPC/Lazarus and Delphi users will talk all about the same thing: Object Pascal :-)
Yes, we're all talking same language: Object Pascal. Most people here use both of them, I pressume. I consider both are cousins. :) FPC/Lazarus is the answer for multiplatform demand, and Delphi is the answer for better IDE and coding convinience on win32 platform. For linux platform, Lazarus is still the best IDE for object pascal. :)
