like IntelliJ or Delphi that write most of the code for you and you just sort of point and click

I'm not sure what version of Delphi you've used, but while Delphi does have wizards and things, it certainly doesn't write "most" of the code for you. :-) It provides a nice framework and takes away some of the tedious GUI coding, but there is still plenty for a programmer to do.
