Best cross-platform IDE
Lowest Rated
Lazarus has some fine points when it comes to using a single platform version. But its cross compiling capabilities are poorly documented and just are not worth the effort, no matter how you try to build a cross platform executable, even on Windows 32.64. It would appear the authors either don't test the same code they post, or have not done a clean install for quite some time. If you install Lazarus on Windows 64, it is impossible to build a Win32 executable. If you look at Free Pascal, the compiler engine, you will notice the compiler installs in \lazarus\fpc within lazarus, and in \FPC within free pascal. If you use the fpclazupd program, the fpc compiler installs into \development\fpc and lazarus installs into \development\lazarus. Too many inconsisteices, too many poorly or undocumented features. Just not worth the bother. Too bad for such a nice product. Wiki is out of date and little information on web. Those five star ratings must be from the authors, people who don't cross compile, or friends of the authors. Cross compilers get an F- for useability.

lazarus + free pascal are a very good tool to see and learn to program in pascal, also their community forum and support is active

Hello, I use MsSql Server, My applications developed with Lazarus 2.0.6 using MsSql Server don't work. I have an error about dblib.dll not loaded. I return to the 2.0.6 version. Any idea ? Best regards

The Lazarus RAD IDE + Free Pascal Compiler = Cross-platform heaven. I can compile GUI applications on macOS for both macOS, Windows 32 bit and Windows 64 bit. I can compile the same source code for the same application on FreeBSD and on Ubuntu Linux. The Free Pascal Compiler Documentation is extensive and the Free Pascal and Lazarus Wiki serves a similar documentation repository for Lazarus along with the ever-helpful, and surprisingly welcoming to new users, Free Pascal and Lazarus Forums. I was a previous user of Delphi 1 through Delphi 7 and then my costly mistake spending substantial coin on Delphi 10.1 where bugs go unfixed for decades. Contrast that to Lazarus + FPC where I have had developers fix bugs I encountered OVERNIGHT. Needless to say, my coin now goes to supporting Lazarus + FPC.

I still give 5stars on this project, I hope they can add more feature for easier Database Related tasks; I would like to connect to MSSQL, MYSQL, PostgreSQL, and on recent updates the TDBGrid become unresponsive when display 1000+ rows coming from anysource, I hope they can fix this and add more feature for database functions

Lazarus - my favorite IDE
-
Excellent IDE Studio.
-
Excellent! Only for support I gave 4 stars because I miss the help of Delphi from 1990's. It always had an example that could be copy&pasted.

Tested so good!

Самая крутая IDE!!!
-
Keep up this great project !!! Where can I donate?
-
The best free environment in the world for multiplatform programming, impressive work in every way.
-
Easy to create GUI applications. Lots of components ready to use. Good documentation. Active community.

Great!

Awesome IDE! * Fast installing * In-studio studio rebuilding (yes,yes, i know,it was in much older versions, than current) * User-Friendly Layout (d7-like by default, but you can change it by installing sparta_DockedFormEditor and AnchorDockingDsgn packages, and you'll receive full-configurable ide) * Useful debugger, with live asm code viewing * Simple cross-platform support: just set up required properties, or delete properties which is not supported by platform, install required package for compilation (if it doesn't) * Intuitive understandable menus, which doesn't run away so far your screen can't hold (in delphi menus has a kind of ugly unfit view, in lazarus it doesn't) * Useful component palette with parenthesis view * Package dependency tree view (as a structure, as a chart and as a tree list) * Fully centering adjustment, not the delphi-like (d-like: partially with some unpredictable lagging) * Full Unicode Support, even SynUni package included - for the unicode code editor support * Some of the features is not well-understandable at the first time, but it gets easier after a much little time than with Haskell, Delphi or Python. For me, as for non-professional delphi developer it is the best solution ever! I'll recommend it to my friends as soon as i explore it completely :) Last time i installed Lazarus before was in 2013, and for me it changed in a much better way, stay updating, developing and creating it, Lazarus Team, thanks for all! P.s sorry for the broken linebreaks, but sourceforge doesn't seems to support it As for someone, who looking for Win32 support, make a note: you need to install cross-win32 extension, which available in ftp://freepascal.dfmk.hu/pub/lazarus/releases/ , for example, or on the official downloads page in the project's website :)

Lazarus is amazing, after a quick and simple installation, you can start programming - no complications, no extraordinary requirements, no mysteries. The Pascal language is easy to learn, and, when there is some problem, the IDE usually points out exactly where the error is, as clear as possible. Whenever I need to compile a project in Windows, I just take a copy of the same source code from my Debian machine, open it in the miserable one, press F9 and... voilà, the exact same program, compiled and running in a different operating system.
