My initial reaction was "wow, just what I needed." :-) I'm used
to doing my GUIs in Borland's editors, so I've found that
designing the GUIs with code takes me a long, long time.

Haven't really had time to play much with it, but here are some
suggestions:

You could replace the 0/1 values with "no"/"yes" or
"false"/"true" in the properties editor. Even if it doesn't 
correspond the resulting code exactly, it makes more sense in
a visual environment IMO.

Also I keep forgetting to press return after changing a string
value, hence losing my edits when I select a different property

Tooltips would be nice, especially in the toolbox window.

I just had an incident where the icons in the toolbox disappeared
when I clicked on them. I cannot reproduce it, but it happened
while clicking the buttons when I had my window in "test mode".

A point for resizing the control in only one direction at a time
would come in handy, and one point that would scale the control
in all directions would, too. (i.e. center of the control's edges
and in the middle of the control)

Oh yeah, "send to front"/"back"/"push one layer back"/"select 
control" type of  right click menu in the forms editor window
would be nice, instead of having to move the mouse over to the
main window and click the control I want to edit there.

That's all I could think of for now!
