I've done delphi in the past but I haven't heard about it for a while. How big is the community nowadays? What about libs? Package manager? Dependency-hell? Unit-testing frameworks and other toolings? How easy is it to stop the whole application and inspect everything, evaluate some code in parent stack and see if the issue was resolved so that you know exactly what to do?

It's not only about GUI designer and fast cross-platform compiler.



Online package manager can search, download, and install packages.

I have libs/packages for everything I need, dunno about your needs.

Not sure about the community size but it's plenty big and plenty helpful, lots of cool new stuff going on.

Plenty of debuggers available and you can pause things and inspect stuff.

Lazarus has seen loads of updates the last few years, it's worth taking the time to set it up to fit your needs and learn the shortcuts.
