I have a question: As much as this topic comes up, why hasn't some
commercial software vendor jumped in to fill the hole left when EOF was
re-positioned without Objective C? Are these vendors simply leaving money
on the table?

Perhaps someone has and I'm just not aware of it, but it seems to me that
you can *always* build a better mousetrap. Is there someone out there
that's building a "better" EOF? Is there someone out there who has simply
taken the ball out of Apple's hands by building an entity-relationship
modeling framework that does not rely on any software patents or technology
that Apple (nee NeXT) whipped up a decade ago?

later,

douglas
