That is a very shallow view of the situation, CT offers a couple of very good points that in my opinion should be part of lazarus from the start. Except the extended list of components which if I am not mistaken has been tested to work with windows, linux and probably MACOS it has the most wanted feature of auto building and setup of cross compilers, although I am aware that in order to cross compile that alone is a huge advantage over lazarus which require indricate knowledge of the internals of the compiler, lcl, fcl and gods knows what else in order to setup a cross compiler. Knowledge which might be useful in future endeavors for some but not for the vast majority of developers.
