Why didn't it become more popular?

RAD in general kinda failed.

What happened to all the Visual C++ programmers?

Bad omen from project naming.
How do you name your project after the second most famous zombie of all time and expect it to work out well?

because Free Pascal isn't popular
even though it's a good product

I don't get it. I see an empty win form. Is this supposed to be an app?

>>106876300 (OP)
because it's fucking pascal

>>106876300 (OP)
It doesn't have traditional layouts besides that RAD was killed by Qt there is not reason for using another RAD framework, even Delphi is kinda dead-

why dont they make it support other languages like VS Code?

No

Looks like Roblox studio.

that's not the north Korean hacking group. What's this?

>>106884000
it's FOSS Delphi, which is Visual Basic for Pascal

Why does the UI look like shit? Everything has very weird and unaligned margins.

IDK the state of desktop programming seems kinda dead nowadays.

I had contracts making PyQT5 corporate internal apps in 2014-2019 but it's all web based nowadays.

This sucks, I want to install apps on my disk that are perfomative and not a slow browser for each application.

Why go through the effort of developing separate apps for each platform when you can create a single codebase that works across Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and the web?

>>106876300 (OP)
10 years too late. and pascal kind of fizzled out after the company that popularized it abandoned it.
<r*ddit spacing>
many people who liked the language went to "scientific/engineering" python, or back to matlab.
<r*ddit spacing>
it was never really a "coder" language. although anyone with brain would take it over c++ any day. luckily, other options exist.

so, how popular and worthwhile is double commander?

>>106887280
I liked it (especially because it was GTK2 instead of the modern cancer) but it's a pain in the ass the build from source because of Lazarus/Pascal bullshit. That's an issue on Gentoo but if you're on a binary distro the package maintainer takes care of that for you so just install it and see if you like it.

>>106887642
>build from source
>issue on gentoo
Hold on. Lemme try the gtk2 flag. If I can compile it without a problem, then the package from ::guru should be fine.

>>106888027
Ok nevermind ::guru hard-locks you to qt6.

Okay lmao, I rest my case. Le user submitted source-based doublecmd never had gtk2 useflag, only doublecmd-bin had it. I did find an old-ass ebuild here https://gpo.zugaina.org/app-misc/doublecmd by keepbot, I highly doubt it's adoptable by modern system. So you do have to write your own ebuild for source-based gtk2 atm. Def pain in the ass

>>106888027
>>106888121
>>106888361
I haven't used it for some years but I remember the ebuild used to blow up unless I chmod 777ed some random shit in /etc, I think that was the fault of Lazarus wanting to write shit where it shouldn't and throwing a tantrum otherwise, but I forget the details. eventually decided it was too much of a pain in my ass and found a different file manager, idk if it's been improved since then

>>106887280
feels like no one use em, even creator

personally I like it but wxwidget always seemed the better option and it also has a ide + widget editor.
