For that you just need a visual form designer. RAD normally entails a
whole lot else like hooking into events (in the UI), live view of data
in form designer (using eg: a TDBGrid) etc.

And DBGrid behaves slightly different to TStringGrid, and is slow. Many
DB-aware components behave slightly different to the non DB-aware
versions. Why two sets of basically the same component? Yet another
layer of components that can contain bugs. With Model-GUI-Mediator you
use the standard components only, and the mediators are literally just a
few lines of code. The rest of MGM (at least the implementation in
tiOPF) is all non-GUI and well unit tested.
