This is Delphi in the role of 4GL RAD tool. If one has used Jade or Visual
C++ or some other system where the program designer has to do much more work
to get a program going then this may seem anathema. But for the targeted
purpose of building an application quickly and easily it does the job, and
that seems to be where Delphi is aimed - the VB market.
Anyone who has used Jade, will know that one can write almost the whole
program without hardly even looking at a form, because the class browser
lets you get to your forms and components without viewing the form. The
browser-thingy in Delphi 4 is a step in that direction, I'm not entirely
convinced that it goes far enough along that track.
