From time to time yes.

Yup. I tend to agree - I find it can be a bit unstable; but when it
works it's brilliant. I really like some of the editor features (like
code completion and being able to go to the definition of any entity with
a single key-stroke).
And being able to find the run-time value of a variable by hovering over
it is great too.
I know these are all features of Delphi, but they're great to have
nonetheless.

It's fine yes. Delphi is the other option, but costs money.

Costing money is not an evil thing btw. Openness, malleability and multi
platform (/architecture) use are equally important aspects.

Well for me money is an issue. I dont have much... :)
But all the aspects you remark are really important too.

Has anyone developed a program that converts Delphi components into
Lazarus components? This is the only drawback I have in switching
from D4 to Lazarus. Too many good components written for Delphi.

There are some helper functions in Lazarus itself. But in general this kind
of stuff is hard. Not just with Lazarus, but for different Delphi versions
too (think Kylix, Tiburon etc)
Specially if you want to have them not only under Lazarus/win32, but on all
targets. The rules to make them really portable can't be automated.

Most are easily converted. A lot of them are already. Getting new components
for D4 can't be a picknick either, since most vendors/projects support D7 up
only.
Anyway, any specific components you want? Maybe they are already ported, or
updated by the vendor?

Thanks, but none that I can just use in D4. Actually there are quite
a bit of components still out there for D3/4. Most on Torry and Poland.
I am not into writing freeware anymore as I use to be. I had some
people unjustly gang up on me in a news group, so I took down all
of my freeware (34 programs). Had some criticism before, but this time
it was so vicious that I decided it was time to get out of the freeware
business and concentrate on another hobby and projects.

Not doing anything is always the easiest. But not always the best.
I wonder a bit what you actual question was then?

Sorry to hear that.
