I really hope Lazarus will do away with full IDE recompilation and already adopt Delphi's style of pre-compiled objects (aka .DCU's) when adding a new component to palette in it. Until then it still feels like amateur, not "professional".

That style is for me personally a source of frustration every time I have to add a new component that shares the same name with an existing one, while in Delphi is just a simple error message and you can quickly switch between whichever you want. Heck, in Delphi I can fully name qualify both of them at the same time for runtime. Try do this in Lazarus with one that uses a design time 3rd party component and you're dead in the water.
