Have you tried Lazarus? It's the FreePascal IDE and it tickles my VB funnybone pretty well

Lazarus IDE is stuck in its Delphi 7 interface for years while Delphi was seeing fast iterations past years. Have you seen latest Delphi (10.4.2 from Feb. this year)? But most importantly did you tried its godly compiling speed?

If there's a way to build with it free of charge, I'd check it out

You can try its Community Edition. If you're a business building a commercial application then I doubt the license fee, while expensive for small developers, is expensive for the business too.
