Delphi 4's VCL and IDE was the high point. It's been downhill ever since.

Delphi 7 designer was a great improvement over delphi4 (we still use it at work) and yet delphi 2007 fixed some soap bugs and xe7+ is pretty decent as a cross platform ui development IDE.

You should try a newer version of the IDE/compiler. Delphi 10 Seattle and 10.1 Berlin are pretty damn good. Fast load times, editor is solid. The only real downside to the whole product is that the VCL (still) needs better layout management and easier ways to cope with scaling on high-DPI displays.
