What really scares us is that all the mainstream OSes are becoming
so Web and mobile centric - the way M$ is rumbling I seriously
wonder if and how theyll support any native development in the not
too distant future. Lazarus, with its native abilities for Linux,
gives us a clear path out should M$ abandon manufacturing and the
desktop in general - and we are most appreciative!
We are also using Lazarus for hardware related stuff with no help at
all from the web!
I think this is *the* main advantage of FPC/Lazarus: you can use it
for almost every type of application on any platform (sorry C64 users,
we do not have a solution ... yet ;)).
No. More importantly it gives independence. Something that external
tools don't give. If they wither or change direction, or do the umpteen
API change you have an immediate problem and risk getting caught in an
infinite catch-up
