I know "why" might sound like a strange question, but I am wondering what 'benefits' there are or even what the purpose is of using what is basically a glorified gtk wrapper that pretends to be the vcl... when you are using SDL. I've seen several threads on the subject, and am wondering why you would even bother...

Or are people just using it for the IDE? If so, it sounds like a hell of a lot of headaches for something so simple.

But then, I'm doing all my code editing in Crimson Editor and compiling from the command line, so I might be jaded.

Am I missing out on some detail or feature it brings to the table?
