I hope you are correct.  I suppose they were preoccupied with Swift last year.  
I had a dream last night that we’ll soon get a new “metal” persistent store to 
replace SQLite, one which is fundamentally compatible with asynchronous, 
autosaving synced documents.

I don’t see that Apple has been neglecting Core Data. There’s been steady 
incremental improvements over the last couple of WWDCs, the nicest of which is 
proper drop-in support for iCloud with the two stores it manages automagically 
for you. The changes they made to MOCs a few years back which use GCD make 
async saving pretty easy and last year we also got batch updates and async 
fetching.

Core Data Model Editor without Core Data

2015-03-20 Thread Jerry Krinock
I’m rewriting a large old C++ (PowerPlant!) project to Cocoa, and am thinking 
that I’m probably not going to use Core Data because of its uncertain future (I 
think Apple has been neglecting it lately, its incompatibility with newer ideas 
such as asynchronous saving, etc.), and the fact this app may not need 
undo/redo.  But I think I might use the Core Data Model Editor in Xcode anyhow 
because it is really nice, and even if I don’t use Core Data, the code 
generated by mogenerator could easily be grepped to subclass Realm or FMDB 
objects instead of NSManagedObject.
