I honestly don't see the point of a dedicated "wizard" class, when the PageControl already does exactly what is needed. Like I said, it worked just fine as far back as the D5..D7 and Kylix days. Maybe the later Delphi staff simply didn't know about the ShowTabs property.;-) But I guess Lazarus will eventually get such a class too - being a VCL clone and all.
I would tend to agree - but perhaps what is missing from Lazarus is some better template forms. For example, Delphi always had a dialog box template and it is very frustrating when you need to build your own each time. True, it does have the ProjTemplates package to help you do this - and I do now have my own dialog box template - but this is buggy and not ideal for the novice user (memo to self, file that bug report on ProjTemplates failing to use your .lfm on form creation, plus the enhancement request for a template hierarchy).
Along with a standard dialog box template, Lazarus could certainly do with a "wizard" frame template using a TPageControl.
