Didn't Microsoft more or less just copy everything from Borland Delphi? They had drag and drop GUI stuff in the early 90s.

  No, Delphi came out years after Visual Basic. There was an earlier Turbo Pascal for Windows, but it didn't have visual design features as far as I remember.

    Turbo Pascal for Windows did have a GUI designer, but it was a separate application from the code editor. It wasn't as integrated as VB.

      Even Visual Basic for DOS had a TUI designer. Wasn't addressed in the article.
