fpGUI vs MSEide + MSEgui?
« on: October 11, 2024, 05:42:12 pm »
Can someone please explain the differences between using fpGUI and MSEide/MSEgui with Lazarus?

Which would be more suitable for a beginner?

Which is better maintained?

Are there any advantages to using one over the other?

Do they both work with fpcupdeluxe?

Do they both support the same platforms?

Also, on a related note, does anyone know what happened to Easy fpGUI? The links in the wiki are broken and a Google search doesn't show much else.

Last commit for MSEgui is Sep 4, 2024, for fpGUI a few older.

We dont have any news from Paul Breneman and it is very sad.
