Apparently, the spirit of negativism is great about this proposal.
You have to take into consideration that not everyone has a desire or use for "kitchen sink" installations.
Personally, my ideal piece of software is something that is the absolute minimum and allows me to add to it whatever features/functions I need as the need for them arises.
The following isn't a complain about Lazarus but, for me, it already has several hundred times more than I need. I use it only as a front end to FPC and GDB and, that is _all_ I want (at least at this time.) The thought of having a big download just to get those basic features is rather unappealing.
Bottom line : different users have different needs.
I like software that offers features/functions "a la carte".
IOW, waitress, I'd like to have 2 eggs over easy, two strips of bacon, hash browns and a large cup of coffee, thank you and, hold off on the 20 pork chops, 7 prime ribs, 11 lobsters, 8 chicken cordon blue, 5 trout amandines and whatever else is on the menu today.
