too me it feels like with Core Data you didn't really have too much
control with the data. it seemed like you built your models,
plugged everything together with interface builder, and that was
it, but i really wanted more from it, in the sense of having more
direct access. and the resulting database file would need to be
exchanged with other platforms.
or maybe i'm interpreting Core Data wrong?
I would say so, yes.
You can get as much control over the objects as you want. Core Data
can be difficult to grasp if your background is JDBC/SQL (etc), but
being able to view the data as part of an object model is very
compelling.
It might help if you took a look at the "Low Level" Core Data
tutorial on the ADC site; that is probably a more appropriate
introduction for someone already familiar with other low level APIs.
Other platforms should be able to read your database; but you may
have problems using Core Data on an SQLite database created elsewhere.

so many choices, so little dev time.
i've heard of several sqlite wrappers for cocoa and i'm wondering
if any of you have used one you prefer. or if you prefer one at
all...
sqlite... cocoa... can they live together in harmony?
So; what's wrong with CoreData?
If you need to support 10.3 or earlier, or need to exchange
databases with other platforms, you should probably take a look at
QuickLite. I have used it and it seems solid, with reasonable
integration with Cocoa concepts.
