Is anyone using Lazarus to develop? What are your opinions of it?  |

I've never heard of Lazarus but it sounds like an implementation of Pascal.
If you are already into Pascal, that's fine, but having used it myself at one time I found Pascal very frustrating. It is very, very fussy about the order that your code is in. Fix one bug and it results in five new ones, I found.
I believe it originated as a teaching tool to force students to use structured code, which is why the compiler nags you so much.
Maybe Lazarus is different though ......

It emulates Delphi,
In 1995 Borland revived its version of Pascal when it introduced the rapid application development environment named Delphi - turning Pascal into a visual programming language. The strategic decision was to make database tools and connectivity a central part of the new Pascal product. sourced from
I've used it in the past to recreate a program I first built with Delphi.
