This compiler ROCKS !!!
It's nearly ideal for a low-cost games programming (at least for projects where you don't need VCL). And the performance is nearly equal to Delphi.
The DGDev Team, which I'm a proud member of, will soon release its second game, compiled with FreePascal![]()
I don't know about the compiler but it's the awful IDE managed to scare me away.
Oh yes, I was not talking about the IDE. But I'm used to code in Java using Textpad, so FP is fine too![]()
use the freeware IDE called Programmers Notepad:
http://www.pnotepad.org/
There are a few others some even compile it for you (altho I think PNotepad can do that too if configured), but mostly they don't compile it my way!![]()
Do it by the book, but be the author!

Or if you are using it in a win-32 platform. Dev-pascal from Bloodshed os a great freeware IDE.
I made a small notepad like IDE for FreePascal once with SynEdit. Pressing F9 even compiled the code (though this feature was a bit buggy).
I guess what I want to say is that it shouldn't be to hard to make a minimalistic IDE yourself if you want to.

I once started an IDE, however I didn't have the time to finish it... worked pretty well too, well as long as you didn't try to save the project since that didn't go well yet!![]()

As to the IDE problem, use Lazarus -> www.lazarus.freepascal.org It's a Delphi clone IDE working both under Win32/Unices. It has it's own LCL(clone of VCL) which is almost complete.
Both FPC and Lazarus are not yet done but once they will finish Delphi will be a bad memory...
