Mesa/Cedar, Lisp Machines, Oberon and Active Oberon, Amiga, Atari ST, BeOS, Smalltalk, Clipper 5.x, GUI RAD (VB, Delphi, C++ Builder).

Some of those did make into mainstream, but current generations have lost that phase.

Oberon is alive in Acme/9front. Amiga/Atari are zombies, BeOS lives in Haiku, Smalltalk has Pharo and some C-named project for purists. Delphi is still usable under lazarus.
