I have to say that I walked away very depressed from today's WO session. In a conference where the hype is all about a beta version of Xcode (v1.5), and a major upgrade to the toolset (v2.0) "within a year", the fact that WO didn't say a word about the future, speaks volumes about its future. They couldn't even say a bug fix release was in the works..

WO was a great tool, and still has features you can't find elsewhere, but the Java world is moving quickly and others will get there soon. I can't afford to get linked to a technology that stagnates or a company that is more focused on selling a proprietary set of APIs. Mac OS X is the best operating system in the world, but right now I don't see much that differentiates Cupertino from Redmond. Both want to "lock-in" their bread and butter. At least that's how I read the Xcode 2.0 modeling effort. It's not really a pre-curser to an updated EOF.

Sorry for the negativity. This was my first WWDC and WO was the reason I came here. I think I'll spend some time down at the JavaOne conference tomorrow.
