Errr...Lazarus is a good IDE/RAD? It certainly is a good start, but is far from being comparable with other development enviroments. If you ask me, it's too much like Delphi (that's really bad). Although 99.5% of my apps use gui, I never use the visual editor (I gave up hoping that the next click on the palette wouldn't kill lazarus). I'd kill to have something like Eclipse or NetBeans for fpc. I use Lazarus only because it's the only ide available. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love fpc and Lazarus, but I won't use it for any of the projects at work (I use Java/Eclipse for that). > Said That I think there should be 5 download options clearly visible > for the users after clicking the Download link: > 1 - the latest stable FPC + Lazarus IDE (take to a page with the liks > to download for the various platforms, a short explanation on how to > install and the links must point directly to the mirrors, not another > download page to avoid the current labirint) > 2 - the latest stable FPC without Lazarus IDE (same as above) > 3 - development Beta FPC (instructions to get via svn) > 4 - development beta Lazarus (instructions to get via svn) > 5 - Download older versions of Lazarus or FPC Sounds reasonable. But there aren't any lazarus stable releases yet :) The platform version could be addressed like in the Squeak (www.squeak.org) site. That is: Windows / Linux / MacOS / Other. btw, that would be a good site layout for lazarus' site. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
