I have heard that in D5 there are environmental settings that turn off the
DPR file additions and the 'form object variables' from being created
automatically.
I'm sure that will make a lot of people happy.

one gripe I have relating to forms is the automatic adding to the DPR
file of
Application.CreateForm(TFormX,FormX);
since most of my forms are designed to be reused they do not have
a form object variable at all as these are created on the fly either as
local variables or structures like
with TFormX.Create(nil) do try
if ShowModal(MyParameter)=mrOK then...
finally
end;
Another one is the naming scopes for components when hijacking controls
off another form can get you into trouble especially if you're a keen user
of
actionlists and often don't name your Toolbar buttons since all interaction
is
managed by the actionlist. Forms don't like having 2 components named the
same even if the duplication is 'owned' on another form...
