It doesn't need to be!

Having tested Delphi XE4 recently with iOS and MacOSX development. I was
simply amazed at how easy it was to develop for an alternative platform,
including remote debugging and deployment - it fact developing for the
iOS target was just as simple as developing for the Win32 or Win64 or
MacOSX targets.

There is still a huge gap in FPC and Lazarus's usability when it comes
to developing, debugging and deploying to alternative targets. I guess
that is why Embarcadero can charge the big bucks.

Maybe Dennis can try CodeTyphon [http://www.pilotlogic.com/sitejoom/].
They are the only people I know that are trying really hard to get FPC
cross-compiling to the masses.
