I’ve tried Lazarus a few times (on macOS), but I’ve found Delphi to be significantly more polished and reliable (including the more complex workflow of developing on Windows and running the resulting binary on macOS or in the iOS simulator — it just works).

I did consider becoming a contributor to make Lazarus better, so maybe something I should revisit.

The first thing I’d do is make sure Lazarus works perfectly on Windows, macOS, and Linux. For the other platforms, fpc excellence is fine, but they’re not important enough, I think, for Lazarus. One counter argument might be certain embedded applications but I suspect that would not be the right prioritization…
