Well, i never said these were better than Lazarus (in fact this is the first 
time i even mention them in this list). For me Eclipse is a resource hog and 
it's not usable in my computer, so it's out. KDevelop is a nice IDE and is 
adequate for C++ programming. I have only use it to develop some small SDL 
games and not for GUI, but i have experimented a bit with programming KDE 
applications. KDevelop integrates with Qt Designer which is a good Form 
editor imho, so i don't know how it *lacks* features.
For Pascal development, KDevelop is a bloated kate, so i just program directly 
in Kate instead, much faster, much simpler. Combine with Konqueror and you 
get a wonderful UDE (Unintegrated Development Enviroment).
Is this "UDE" better than Lazarus? Probably not, but it's sure flexible. I 
know this option is not for everybody, but it pays back.
