here is that the abstraction is pattern driven, which leads to a rigid

Maybe we read the code differently. :-) I find tiOPF very flexible in
many different area and for many different projects. Yes the tiOPF
uses a lot of design patterns and yes most functionality is based on
the Visitor pattern, but that is exactly what I like about it. The
Visitor pattern combined with the Iterator gives you such a lot of
power, and is ideal on a hierarchy of objects and that is how most
data gets presented anyway (for example: Treeview component and
Relational databases). Why more OPF's don't follow this route, I got
no idea! tiOPF must be doing something right though, seeing that it
has been in active development for just under 10 years now.
Do you know of any such framework?
There are not many other publicly available OPF frameworks written in
Object Pascal.
