A comment on FreePascal and Lazarus Foundation. Parent comment
- Both: No undo in the UI builder
- Delphi: There are about 3 different ways of adding an existing file to a project. They seem to differ in how they track dependencies.
- Both: Project files periodically get corrupted.
- Both: Renaming a control on a form by only changing case causes some references to the control not to be updated.
- Both: No customizable keybindings
- C++Builder (might be true with Delphi too): The debugger periodically crashes.
- C++Builder: Sometimes the project fails to build and gives a bunch of errors in system headers. The solution? Close the IDE and open it again.
Those are just the big ones. There are a million tiny annoyances that add up to be very frustrating.
