Programming with wxWidgets using C++ tools? Nope, you're potentially talking to the worst C++ developer ever... Simply deplore the language. I'd probably use QT if I had to use C++ anyhow. Tools are decent and there's tons of documentation and discussion about it online.
Or are you refering to the TwinForms product? I've was impressed when it was released, but the forum had little to no traffic last I looked and still doesn't say anything about D2010 on the purchase page (just checked). I suspect it just didn't sell well. No database components and I'm not sure about how you'd create your own. What about charts, etc? But If I recall the Mac samples in screencasts looked pretty natural for a Mac.

I don't use too much help because I really only do straight forward line of business database applications. I rarely do anything I haven't done before. I'm certain anyone doing more complex programming probably has to use help a lot more than I do.
I only have Macs so I'm very familiar with FPC/Lazarus on the Mac. The apps look horrific. I compile with the QT layer when I play with it because it looks slightly better than the Carbon layer. QT also supports 64 bit where the Carbon libs are being deprecated and will remain 32 bit. In any case, they still look terrible and are pretty buggy. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Objective-Pascal effort turns out. A group on the MacPascal email group has been working on it for over a year and in my lurking it looks very promising. More promising to me for a Mac GUI application in Pascal than other options.

I like D2010 as well as the language and library improvements made since D7. It's fast enough for me. I never feel like I'm being slowed down by the IDE.
