I like the idea of modern driven development.  I think that it gives a 
better way to communicate to the team what is happening.  The only model 
tool I've used is rational rose however it was clunky.

The trouble is, I haven't found a good one yet.  I think the only model 
driven development tool I'd be able to use is where the editor is built 
around it so your kinda forced to learn it (old habits die hard).   It 
would also be more appealing if it provide some drag-drop productivity 
improvements such as refactoring tools (free functions into class, class 
into free functions, break up class, switch into class etc...).

It would be cool if it was done in an 3D framework so you could quickly 
zoom in and out of stuff kinda like the iphone.
