If you want the truth. I will told you.
Yes, we are interested in the truth. Anything else is pointless.
Laz is like something from the xp era with delphi 7 look and feel that is just sucks.
Rather than just providing a critique -- which appears quite subjective -- can you provide an explanation of the lack of functionality that you are looking to address?
BTW, personally, I am not inherently opposed to "modern," but I do find that some of what passes for "modern" as it pertains to interfaces, is just change for the sake of change, and does not aid in discrimination of visual elements or improved productivity, etc.
So, if we're going to discuss better looks, there out to be some objective gain from it all.
Anchordockingdsng help a bit but still look ancient compared to other ide, even the freebasic ones.
In what way does the old look present functionality problems? I've seen lots of cute looking, yet quite useless software of late. There's no direct correlation between looks and capabilities.
The weakest part is in your code editor (formatter and code suggestion).
Can you name some concrete problems? (And, yes, I have seen some issues with the latter myself)
We're trying to get beyond mere whining and into constructive criticism/assessment. That will go a long way to actually getting some things changed.
