Plus
 - Allows for much easier code reuse
 - applies compiler paths and units paths for you
   eg: Create a new CLI project add the MyCoolUnits.lpk as a requirement package
    and Lazarus IDE does the rest. All unit paths are setup automatically.
   PS:  Remember to specify in the Package Options that the
MyCoolUnits.lpk is a runtime only package. That way it doesn't rely on
any Lazarus units or LCL.

+1
I write a lot of CLI tools or non-LCL applications. Lazarus as
programmer IDE (editor) is fabulous.
