Definately! I just told somebody else on another mailing list that
wanted to use the current FreeCLX the same thing - it's riddled with
bugs.

+1
They will probably only attract a few server side developers (non-gui
services or daemon and web apps), but I will never be able to work on
full desktop GUI apps like that either. This will probably cause the
cross-compiler uptake to be very slow - so I can just imagine the
cross-compiler support will be canned again in a few years. :-/

Oh well, that's good news for FPC, fpGUI, Lazarus, MSEgui etc.  :-)
