I probably missed it, but what problem is "IfThen()" actually solving?

It's a sugar syntax, for

if cond then
 x:= a
else
 x:=b;

Just follow this thread:
http://lists.freepascal.org/pipermail/fpc-pascal/2016-January/046375.html

Pro #1: shortness of script
Pro #2: easier porting of C-style code (with ternary ? operator. Pascal

So it's not solving a /problem/ it's lessening an inconvienence(sp!).

I would've gone with IIf(). :)
