It did break a lot of code for Delphi.

Nevertheless I am of the opinion that WITH is evil and should be removed 
from the IDE/LCL code (unless only identifiers from within the with 
scope are used; but even then they could be removed...). The 
Width/Height (+ other useful functions) are a good TRect enhancement.
