This is perhaps not such a huge problem, since functionality can always be added—but there is indeed a *lot* of work to be done to reach feature parity with EOF.

In a perfect world (that's the world where I have endless time and money) I'd do a clean room implementation of EOF and live happily ever after. But this is indeed not a perfect world, so helping making Cayenne better and more integrated with WO seems like a more realistic goal (besides, it allows more resources to be spent on a re-implementation of WO; something I'd love to participate in).
