      What kind of tools or development environments are people using to
      cope with these problems? In particular, I was wondering if there 
      are any graphics-oriented tools that display class hierarchies and 
      provide a "point-and-click" interface to class and method editors. 
      Something along the lines of the NeXT Application Builder or, better yet, 
      the old Xerox LOOPS class browser but for Unix/X Windows systems 
      would be great.

I use a lot the Macintosh Mouser PD browser for C++ work under MacOS. 
This tool shows the class hierarchy, methods, method interface and
fields within classes. 

Unfortunately it can't show the code for the method implementation (as
it does if you do a parse on Object Pascal code), but it it still an
extremely good Public domain tool that would cost a lot of $$$ in other
companies. 

A browser is one of the most useful tools working with class libraries.
