I'm not sure about drag-drop (i only have Delphi 2 available and last time
i used any more recent Delphi was the personal edition of 6 -ithink- that i
got from a magazine CD cover years ago).

But you can create "custom designable" components using frames in Lazarus.
They're not as neat as a custom component made in pure code (and i honestly
haven't yet figured out if i can modify the components in a frame after
placing them or not and what happens if i modify the frame after that, so i
usually avoid touching frames after making them). I use frames all the time
(although because of the ambiguousness i mentioned i almost always
instantiate them via code instead of via the component bar).
