The pure magic of Delphi was in its component architecture and especially the ability to define define properties - with its own sophisticated property pages.

Also, you could specify if a property has read and write capabilities or just read or write.. and even if what sort of accessor and setter methods are to be used.

I have yet to see this capability in ANY development environment with the sort of power that there is there in the Delphi component architecture.

.NET given its ancestry.

.NET really does not have the component architecture with property pages etc in the same way that Delphi has - along with the ability to register itself into an IDE etc.. I could be wrong though
