The biggest 3 issues I have with the Beta MDG are:
- The way it handles relationships. I do not understand why relationships cannot be exported to a different tab, like everything else. Thus allowing changing some of the properties of the relation.
- They have 2 profile manager, one for import profiles and another for export profiles.
- Only import profiles can be edited through the profile manager. The export profile manager does not allow editing export profiles.
My understanding is that the way it handles relationships is due to the fact that the MDG does not treat the relationship as a thing in itself, it really thinks about the objects (classes) and treats it as a property of the classes, therefore what the MDG can do about relationships is very limited. This may be due to EA internal architecture, I don't know. (In software engineering object associations are not really important except generalization, while in data modeling they are hugely important - but EA is not natively a data modeling tool...)
