The only Delphi I ever used was Turbo Explorer.

I didn't install any components, I just ripped a chunk of Kambi's sources, patched it a bit so it could work on its own, and used it that way. Also, 95% of my time I use Free Pascal, not Delphi.

But. I now completely moved to this: http://imaginglib.sourceforge.net/
Immensely more powerful one.
