As one of the production users - I can vouch for this. There are several 
others on this list whom I know are doing production work in Lazarus as well, 
Graeme and Tony for starters. 
One of the things I think works best for lazarus is that it is written in the 
same language it uses - so every user is a potential contributor (unlike most 
programs and IDE's users typically CAN program) which is why I think it has 
such an amazing rate of expansion - we must be averaging about 5 or 6 patches 
on most days.
So not only IS lazarus production ready - it's getting better at a huge rate, 
and because it is free software, when you lack a feature, you can add it with 
relative ease as most of us has done at least once - which is why it grows so 
well and in response to the current most urgent needs of it's userbase. 

Okay enough me-too'ism :) 

PS. Michael, I have been chasing deadlines all week, I will draw up a standard 
interview set tomorrow and send you the questions.
