The community has arisen in response to Apple pulling back (e.g., Entity Modeler was written because of Apple's decision to pull the tools). You've got it backwards I'm afraid.

Not really, IMHO, Apple is now recognizing the great contributions from the community, which might be better than their own. Eclipse/EM seemed an obvious progression; so why stand in the way?

You're just not providing a true picture of history. Xcode was the predominant dev tools for WO until Apple dropped it... and then the masses looked for an alternative and got behind WOLips. Sure, the WOLips tools were around beforehand but were in no way in a ready state for the masses. That's all since changed...

with regards,

Talking about history; we have been using WebObjects since 1998. The point is that Apple did not want to stand in the way of something better suited. In their opinion, at that time, the WOLips tools WERE ready for the masses, as Apple had already been using them internally for a couple of years prior to that. 

With Kind Regards,

Dennis.
