I can list them all, but I'm not going to waist my time on them again.
Search the mailing list or Mantis.

But to humour you, here is just one of many examples: THelpEvent in
the RTL. I proposed a patch to change it to be more in line with FPC's
goals [being a cross-platform compiler, so requires cross-platform
solutions]. The change was declined because THelpEvent is a direct
copy of Delphi's equivalent, and even worse, is very Windows specific
in its signature. Yes, it's a small and stupid example, but there are
many more like this. Delphi-compatibility seems to trump everything
else (as Martin said).
