It's funny how that sort of immediacy is what people like about lisps, but to my knowledge there is nothing like the RAD interface Lazarus and Delphi have in the open source lisp world.

The key phrase there is 'open source' I believe, because tools like Lazarus come out of a pretty distinct Borland / Windows culture of making bespoke usually paid graphical development tools. Lisps have a lot of their roots in the academic and Unix culture with a lot of folks seemingly allergic to GUIs to this day. There's an interesting interview with Carmack from a year or two ago talking about this.
It seems like there used to be more of a paid, proprietary, GUI using culture for Lisp, too, in the form of Lisp machines and products like that. They used to not only advertise their programming environment, but also advertise Lisp machines for things like 3D animation and editing office documents.
