I guess you don't know there's a project called Lazarus that, not only wraps the windows' api in a pascal way that's a lot easier to use (and that's not really new, Delphi did it 30 years ago), but it does it in a cross-platform manner, so that your program can be compiled under windows, linux and macos. That's no to diminish the value of fpGUI (a toolkit that I never needed to use so I cannot speak about its merits or shortcomings), but only to tell you that what impressed you has been available for a long time (I don't remember the first version I used to deliver a project, but it was 0.9.something in 2005, almost 20 years ago).
