Were you wiring up the UI by yourself with imperative code, or were you using Delphi's form editor (or whatever it was called)?

Because GP is criticizing Win32-style imperative UI code... and this is exactly what Delphi saves you from.

Describing GUIs in text should have been left in the 90s but I haven’t seen a better code paradigm for GUI behavior specification than VCL-style OOP.
