Ahh.. A high bar - Delphi VCL controls. They probably have the best
(functioning,) looking widgets :)

Are you referring to Squeak (Morphic, etc?) or Seaside? One factor
might be that ExpressQuantumGrid is a commercial product and Delphi has
a very strong group of developers selling controls. Will Seaside
developers sustain such a group be it free or commercial?
Anyway someone is working on such a collection for Seaside.
Contributions can be more easily made once the basics are there.
