There is much I think that should be trashed and redone, the model interface is a prime example (having everything referred to as Object outside the model interface is a terrible concept).
But with so much work required to get to UML2 and eclipse I think everything else such as that is just a distraction. Unless we can get up to date with UML and be using a reusable framework then how are we going to encourage others to become involved? I would like to replace GEF and much of the GUI but there is little point unless we have ArgoEclipse as out standard distribution and are reusing eclipse technologies for what we want to replace. The problem I have and probably many others of the team is lack of technical knowledge in building eclipse based applications.
