As I said in another thread.... "what is this, high school?". It isnt a
popularity contest. We're not voting for prom queen. We're picking the
right tool for the job. There was a point when Perl, PHP, and Python had
no code base to speak of either - yet look where they are now.

If you already have large amounts of Delphi code, I dont see the point in
tossing it all down the drain to re-write from scratch simply because a few
3rd party components arent available for Lazarus. If you switch to C++, not
only will you also not have those 3rd party tools, you'll have to re-write
everything else too. Plus take the very large efficiency hit if you are
more productive in Delphi than C++. Lazarus really ought to be looked into.
FPC will basically compile any D7 compatible code as-is, so a lot of the 3rd
party tools might be portable with minimal effort anyways.
