Editor: PascalGladiator is a free graphical IDE for FPC and debugger front-end for GDB.
The true reason for creating this program was out of desperation in the switch away from CodeWarrior. I like Xcode's interface generally speaking but it's far too complicated and failed on a regular basis citing long lists of obscure linker errors. I was willing to deal with all that but the real killer was the syntax editor. Totally a joke even for Objective-C and they have only now fixed it for version 3.0, which still does not support Pascal well (at all). Looking at black text for 8 hours a day was too painful a thing to imagine and not being able to navigate symbols was even less tolerable.
