If you don't rely on the presence of a form designer then you might want to use Visual Studio Code with the OmniPascal plugin (http://www.omnipascal.com) as a replacement for the Lazarus code editor.

Programs can be separated into thousands of source files (aka "units") for ages. Maybe your teacher didn't tell you about this to avoid confusion ;-)

There is a Win64 compiler and it's working great! I don't know anything about the database drivers.

Just wanted to mention OmniPascal :)

What's about Linux support? It's working on all platforms, isn't it? http://blog.omnipascal.com/omnipascal-0-14-0-mac-and-linux-s...

> The IDE is just so far behind the competition. Crashing all the time an slow. Theming support ist very limited (to date). Delphi Code Insight ("Intellisense") is slow and sometimes just refuses to work and is generally not on par with other offerings

I'm 100% with you. That's why I switched from Delphi IDE to Visual Studio Code with OmniPascal (www.omnipascal.com). It's much nicer to work in a state-of-the-art editor.
