These are all good things, but if the IDE editor can't handle basic stuff

For you. It is useful for most of the English speaking people and those
are quiet a lot too, although not as much as the whole world population.
And even though I don't live in a English speaking country, I never had
problems with it, because all source and comments of my programs are
English. Therefore for me it is not a very important issue. It is nice
to have for others.
Ok i accept that i exagerated when i said Lazarus wasn't useful. But the bug
is still very annoying and is a serius obstacle to Lazarus adoption
worldwide. Ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away,
Whining about it, doesn't fix it. Such problems go away, if a person is
so annoyed with it, that he starts to investigate how to fix it. Me
personally isn't annoyed by it so much, that I want to fix it. I find
other things more annoying (or nice to have), so I rather focus on that.
To misquote Eric Raymond a bit: "1. Every new feature starts by
scratching a developer's personal itch."
we should be looking
for the permanent increase of the quality of Lazarus, which would bring more
users to both projects We do want more users, right?
We don't necessarily want more users, but we need more developers, doc
writers, bug fixers etc.
