Every time I add a new form to my project, it drops a big glop of boilerplate in the uses clause.
uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
Dialogs;
Seriously, who uses the Variants unit on anything resembling a regular basis? I generally end up removing Windows, Messages, Variants, Graphics and Dialogs and never missing them.
That's gotta be coming out of a template file somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know where I can find the template and edit it? I'm using D2009, in case it's changed recently.

Generating Action Creators We recommend creating your action type constants explicitly. There are also utility libraries to aid in generating action creators, such as redux-act and redux-actions. These can help reduce boilerplate code and enforce adherence to standards such as Flux Standard Action (FSA).
To put it simply, A template provides the structure and layout for a document. A boilerplate provides actual text and images.
What Is Boilerplate? The term boilerplate refers to standardized text, copy, documents, methods, or procedures that may be used over again without making major changes to the original.
The according resource is located in $(BDS)\bin\delphivclide*.bpl and named "VCLIDECMD"; you can extract, edit and update it with the resource editor of your choice (I recommend the one included in Pelles C).
For C++Builder users, the template file is "CPPVCLIDECMD" in bcbvclide*.bpl.
If you are using a localized version of RAD Studio, look at the appropriate language resource files (*.DE, *.FR or *.JA).
