Suggestions and Requests / EA on other OSs than Windows & XMI vs. Access RDB
« on: February 16, 2010, 07:29:24 pm »
EA is great in many respects, but the fact that it runs only on Windows OS is very annoying.
Another annoying thing is that it uses RDB which certainly has driven some design and implementation that leak to the user (e.g., extremely slow java/automation APIs, refreshing/making dirty objects, probably inability to have multiple diagrams side-by-side, slow initial loading of the model, ...)
I would like to have very soon an EA that runs also on Mac OS and Linux/Unix. And I'd like to have it also natively work with XMI, so there would be less problems in transforming (one hop less = one layer of possible errors less).
