But you can create "custom designable" components using frames in Lazarus. They're not as neat as a custom component made in pure code (and i honestly haven't yet figured out if i can modify the components in a frame after placing them or not and what happens if i modify the frame after that, so i usually avoid touching frames after making them). I use frames all the time (although because of the ambiguousness i mentioned i almost always instantiate them via code instead of via the component bar).
