[fpc-pascal] GUI confusion

[Patrick]

Hi Everyone

I really like the pascal code I have looked at and I am very excited 
about FPC. I hope this email won't upset anyone, it is a bit negative.

I don't really like IDEs. I used gvim and I suppose it could almost be 
called an IDE as well but I mean I would rather use the shellr then 
clicking on a build button.

I am trying to learn what Lazarus is all about but I am still clueless.

There are screen shots of it being used to develop GTK and QT 
applications but I have also read that GTK 2 is new and buggy and then 
there is this line:

"The FPC Qt4 Binding is not meant to create Qt applications in FPC. But 
it should allow the Lazarus LCL developers to create a Qt Widget set for 
Lazarus"

Can I build GTK 2 (or 3) and QT applications in this? Could anyone point 
me to resources on how to build GUI applications without Lazarus?

Please don't RTFM me, I am trying, there just seems to be a lot of 
conflicting information and I am confused-Patrick
