You may be surprised but I agree with what you say. Our only difference is that I don't perceive your position be typical of the wider MDSD community (and that's a Good Thing). Of course my perception of the MDSD world may be off, but that's another story.

I agree 100%.

Unfortunately (:-)) I had to go flying for the last two days, so Sven already wrote everything I would/should have written...

I do think, however, there's more to say (or ask!) about this repository thing.

Take a look at this post and leave your comments :-)

Very good statement. I completley agree with you.
I'm a big fan of OAW and Xtext. From my point of view, these are excellent tools to do MDSD in a pragmatic but powerful way.

I couldn't have said it better myself! We need to move away from this thinking that there is a great divide between models and code so that we can see more clearly how the marriage of the two extracts maximum value from each.

Excellent post! To sum it up in my words: Models in the sense of MDSD are just another form of source code, written in a language that is most suitable for the problem at hand. Working with these languages and models shouldn't be too different from working with plain old general purpose languages. Anything else is a misconception carried over from 1990's CASE tools and OMG's overblown MDA paradigm.
