I see. So this is the Modeler (and a RAD tool) based on MS Excel as a
GUI. Can't say that you sold me on it... I totally agree about
CayenneModeler needing further improvement, although I don't think
that integrating with Excel is a better investment of time compared
to improving CayenneModeler.
But if this works for you, I'd say go for it - the beauty of open
source is that you can create new stuff without looking back to what
other people say. Certainly drop a note to this list (or the user
list) once your tool is ready for download.
Good luck!
