    This is an idea so great that iTunes already paid us to do it :)




    You WILL, however, lose features. For instance, standalone does not
    run in the context of WOLips, so you cannot benefit from automatic
    eogen execution, etc. Also, when refactoring comes to Entity Modeler,
    only the plugin version will be able to do it. If you're already
    using WOLips, probably the better option would be to turn on "Open in
    New Window" under your Entity Modeler preferences. This gets you
    ALMOST the same behavior but with all the benefits.
