    Comments about Microsoft Visual Studio as an Alternative to Lazarus

    While MS Visual Studio is a powerful IDE for Windows, an alternative to Lazarus should allow to you to develop and compile in (Free) Pascal. Therefore, the inclusion of MS Visual Studio as an alternative is incorrect.

    No Pascal support while other alternatives have that.
