I hope Christian will stay with Lazarus. Reason? Time, of course.

And FC is starting to have very nice features wanted here for quite long time.

Yes, I will stay with Lazarus, TC x64 very stable now, and I would have to restart from the beginning with the porting when moving back to Delphi...

Well, it's the little things which cause the post work, e.g. Delphi uses nativeint for int64, lazarus uses ptrint. Unicode is handled differently. Forms are handled differently. Components differ in supported properties and functions.

I'm sure that it would take another year to migrate to 64-bit Delphi.
