Probably README.TXT must be improved. I think MSEide+MSEgui absolutely can be used by beginners. People who have problems to work with MSEide+MSEgui normally know Delphi or Lazarus already and don't find the familiar properties and concepts. Beginners without that background accept and master MSEide+MSEgui quickly. MSEide+MSEgui could also be used in schools if there would be documentation of good quality available. On http://www.lazarusforum.de/ one can often read questions of pupils who have to fight with Lazarus and constructs like strtoint(edit1.text) in OnClick, label1.caption:= inttostr(var1) and the like because Lazarus has no tintegeredit.onsetvalue and tintegerdisp. What I always tell is that because MSEide+MSEgui is no commercial product like Delphi I am not forced to please the first time buyers as a main goal, the structure of MSEgui can be designed so that it is optimal for "power users" too.

That author clearly doesn't know anything. Lets see… “This language is easy to learn programming techniques, but not to write real programs.” WTF?? In my 20 years of using Delphi and Free Pascal, I have worked on small, medium and massive projects. One being for Lloyds of London (a massive and very old reinsurance company) - a critical part of business in the UK, moving millions of pounds around per day. “Free Pascal v2.6.0: ...the inability to directly copy the code in Notepad, use the syntax...” Uh? OK, I guess he is comparing the FPC Text IDE. Well, does he know how rediculous it is to copy and paste from the Windows Console to a Windows GUI application - compared to Linux or Mac OS X. In that case - and using his comparison style - the whole of Windows is rubbish too. “And MSEide ("the form editor and source code") did not start. In short, the normal behavior of a cross-platform application.” Again, WTF? Yes I find MSEgui hard too - simply because I'm used to Delphi or fpGUI. But doing "Project | New | From Template" and you have the form designer and the code editor open. Clearly the author of that article is rather brain-dead, or Bing Translator did a terrible job. “Lazarus v1.0.2: converting Delphi 7 projects causes problems and you need to manually fix things in Lazarus.” hallo??? Delphi 7 using the VCL, which is tightly coupled to the Windows Win32 API. Most Delphi applications also often call Windows API's directly - bypassing the VCL. Obviously you will have to fix such code when converting the project to a cross-platform toolkit. “Lazarus v1.0.2: And it compiles slowly.” Compared to what? The only compiler I know that compiles faster is Delphi. EVERY OTHER COMPILER (C, C++, Java, Visual Basic etc) COMPILES MUCH MUCH SLOWER! This person clearly has such a bias against ANY Pascal language or compiler. So why did he actually bother writing such a rubbish article. He could simply of said "C++ rocks" and save us all the pain from reading such rubbish.
