The textmode ide is probably much easier because it already runs on 
FreeBSD. Lazarus is much harder if you want to use and support a native 
widget set. OTOH lazarus is a modern IDE, while the textmode uses the 
look and feel of an late 80s/early 90s application so if we want a real 
IDE, work on lazarus :)
