I thought the WOLips effort was primarily due to Apple's horrible
support of non-OS X WebObjects development?
Believe it or not, EOF used to be a separate product and then eventually
got bundled into WebObjects. I still have EOF CDs at home (for NeXTstep
-- EOF predated WO). I am primarily wanting an EOF (or Cayenne ROP)
that can be used within Cocoa applications. Yeah, Apple has CoreData,
but it isn't the same (can't connect to a real DB). Maybe it is wishful
thinking on my part, but I'm hoping if OS X can keep gaining market
share, there will be more options to do Cocoa work and if it needs to
hit a database, it sure would be nice to have a good ORM framework for
that access.

Such considerations didn't prevent WOLips folks from writing an
Eclipse version of EOModeler :-)
Even if it does introduce Objective C EOF, you will be still tied to
the WebObjects server. But then this may be just what people want :-)
