My reason for complaining about Lazarus, and calling it "unusable", is
that it suffers from worse usability defects (for what I want to use it
for)
than even the worst-ever versions of Delphi such as Delphi 2005.
Such as? Please create bug reports, if they are not there yet.
If Lazarus could be as useful to me as Delphi 7, I would change my
opinion from "nice little toy", to "amazing open source platform" pretty
quickly.
It's not that I hate Lazarus. I am deeply disappointed with it.
I think we have to manage the expectations better.
All the whiners who stopped buying from CodeGear because of low quality,
seem to have no problem with the low quality and the missing basic
features of Lazarus that Delphi has had since Delphi 3.0.
What you pay for is what you get. In the Lazarus case (just a tiny bit)
more.
You still can't install packages in Lazarus because the underlying FPC
compiler lacks a runtime package system that could support a more
delphi-like designtime/runtime packages installation system.
You can install packages in Lazarus, it just uses a different way.
