So that makes the idea of CoreData even more confusing. Why is Apple
reinventing the wheel for something that ALREADY EXISTS and WORKS! I
know companies who would start building database driven applications
with Obj-C EOF today if it was re-released. Instead we getting some
watered down, re-invent the wheel with sides, unproven version of EOF
that can't even access major vendor databases, from what I hear. How
many places do you think thats gonna fly in corporate America?
My GUESS is they are not trying to build another Cocoa/EOF at all.
They suggest 3-tier Java apps for corporate applications ... (not that
I am saying there is not room for 2-tier database applications).
My GUESS is that Core Data is meant to be more of a "local machine"
persistence mechanism for "single-user" desktop applications (do they
use it for SnapShot?) Lighter weight and less "enterprise" than EOF.
But I am only guessing [1].

[1] I wouldn't do so much guessing if I could afford to go to WWDC or
if Apple promptly released information to ADC members that have agreed
to the NDA etc. Not sure why we should be treated so poorly ;-)
