I did a Google search and found the following. So it must be possible - 
it probably just needs some extra settings.

"The application configuration in vs 2005 beta 2 uses horizontal text 
with tabs on the left, so some of the code is already there."

And here it is document on how to do it as well.

And for delphi...

So it is doable. ;-)  Even if a custom component is used for the IDE 
only and not included in the component palette, that should also be ok. 
After all, I was told multiple times the IDE is for programmers, not 
users (apparently programmers are not users) - so anything should go.
