They were meant to be cross-platform components, but they have such a very basic implementation that mainly focuses on the common functionality between the different platforms as to make them almost useless. They require a much more in-depth understanding of how sockets work, and require a lot more manual effort on the programmer's part in order to use them effectively. TClientSocket and TServerSocket were much nicer to the programmer in that regard, and there are plenty of third-party components (Indy, ICS, Synapse, etc) and do the job a lot better than TTCPClient and TTCPServer do.
