an insignificant part of lots of C++ projects, on terms of work

must be balanced (compiler & linker quality, support, availability of
trained people, vendor lock-in, etc). Then, for some GUI-intensive
projects, visual GUI designing is not applicable. Think of dynamic
interfaces.
adoption of BCB as a big mistake and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone
except for some quick & dirty throw-away GUI applications that uses
C libraries. Right now I wouldn't consider BCB for interfacing with
C++ libraries.

I'm not sure what it was you though was ugly. Perhaps you don't like
pre-compiled headers. I must say it always did seem odd to me that I had to
compile tens (or hundreds) of thousands of lines of header code just to
compile a few tens of lines of code that I had put in a source file. I
didn't particularly mind because the pre-compiled headers effectively
solved the problem.

than just GUI creation. With the right components, you can connect data
components to data sources, define the way an audio waveform is processed
through a sequence of filters, and so on. All with just a few mouse clicks.
This being the case, it's not valid to say that:

how good is the ability to process waveforms from the designer.
BTW, RAD is a set of more or less loosely defined methods and
practices. Some tools enable the application of those practices on a
more effective way, but saying that by using BCB you are applying RAD
is a bit of a overstatement.
For me, due to my requirements, creating GUIs the old way is more
effective than dragging and clicking things around.

3. VB is good enough for a lot of RAD work.
4. Some people were confused with the Delphi (and BCB) marketing. Was
Delphi written to compete with VB or SQL Windows? Some seem to think
it was going after the client/server GUI design space, as opposed to
the more general programming market addressed by VB. So, perhaps BCB
was typecast into being a database front-end design tool along with
Delphi?
