NO and/or it's too much!
YES, but it's a bit high. (Post what you think is fair!)
YES!
YES, but I need the tools to run on ______ OS.

I would pay more than $200 if it would be backwards compatible with old Delphis and truly really cross-platform (Win/Linux/Mac/iOS and Android) with easy installation.
I do use FPC for cross-compiling for Windows/Mac/iOS. And it works very well.... But, for iOS for me it still a pain because :
- It was a pain to make it works first time, I had to apply lot of fixes and configure everything by hand. Until now I had to compile everything using command line scripts (thanks Andrey Kemka) before using the XCode. I upgraded twice my Mac OS, and I would like to format my Mac and reinstall everything, but I'm very afraid of doing this and does not be able to make everything works again!
- Debugging for iOS is still a pain! I have to "use my imagination" to be able to set breakpoints, and the Stack Call Trace sometimes simple does not works.

true. If it had one button deploy on each platform it would be worth saving time and nerves for $200Originally Posted by wagenheimer
Yes but only if it does support both 32 bit and 64 bit compiler/debigger. The biggest advantage of current Starter edition is absence of 64 bit compiler/debugger.
Also I would expect to have fully featured code editor and not limted as in current Starter edition.
Do you mean in the code editor? Does language features and code manipulation/navigation features count?
