I wonder, why don't they use Lazarus (https://www.lazarus-ide.org/)? That would also make it cross-platform, and probably gain much more interest in the project.
No, not a good Idea. We did tons of efforts to achieve good multiplatform open source dev tools with exclusively FLOSS dependencies. Take dev-cpp as a remainder of what happens when people follow such path.
A blast from the past! Pyscripter was definitely a top contender back in Python 2.3 days. Not sure when I stopped using it and why. Seems to be actively maintained. Will have to try again.
Yes, I had it installed back in those days. I stopped using it because Notepad++ (quick check something without getting asked for permissions) plus VS Code (linting, refactoring, other small things) plus my pimped Code browser 4.9 (Zen-like Overview) do the things I need.
This is Windows only.

Lazarus was around 4 years old when the first version of Pyscripter was released.
Porting to it, might be an option at some point, but changing compiler without breaking anything, is not a tiny task for Delphi things.
I'd say the biggest roadblock would be JEDI which assumes Windows everything.

And this is a comment I often link whenever I ser any news related to Delphi: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37520509

And with LLM Support: OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok and local LLM models using Ollama.
