Now only the name remains as a ghost...

I loved so much Delphi when it was still like Delphi 5.

In my opinion, GUI dev was so great and easy at that time. So much easier than today for desktop or web. For exemple, just having a reactive web app today is such a pain in the ass, when it was so easy then with component anchors and such.

I live that experience still within Java and .NET ecosystems.

Yes, fair enough. Unfortunately that is not accepted a lot anymore; I make custom tools for embedded hardware with win forms and it's great but projects where UI designers get in... nope.
