Lazarus is nowhere near as polished and nice as Delphi, despite having years to get it to that point.
There are no native GUI components, everything is the same old and ancient custom Lazarus VCL design. Why can't I just drag, drop, and use a native Qt5 component?
They struggled for years getting a dockable interface, and it's still shockingly bad bordering unusable. The community seems stuck in the Delphi 7-interface era.
I used to love and use Delphi. It was my first "proper" programming language, and it's what I learned. But I just cannot advocate for its use in the current climate, especially after having been exposed to other developer communities and the superior tooling and availability. I try to go back every couple of years or so and try to use it, but it's just not there.
