Back when Delphi first came out, when I first used it, I don't remember

I think you might be meaning TurboPascal, Delphi's forerunner. It just
had a compiler and text editor. But Delphi from day 1 was an IDE
designed to compete with Visual Basic. Everything was geared around the
GUI builder. You could write code outside the IDE but it was orders of
magnitude more difficult.
Maybe my memory has faded too much! I remember porting some of my
TurboPascal code to Delphi and wrapping it with the Delphi-Windows GUI
instead of my own, pre-Delphi one. The details are hazy, though ...
The Lazarus open source project is based on Delphi's IDE.
