Agree with most of what you say below, using current grid coverages is painful, so having a simpler way to work with them is going to be an improvement. Back at the times when I started working with those I was frustrated and complaining too. What worries me is that all the code we have around in GeoTools and GeoServer uses the current coverage classes: reading, writing, coverage manipulation operations (reprojection, cropping and so on), processes. So my first question is, do you intend to rewrite all of the above code? Don't think so? Do you foresee a way to bridge or transform between the two then? Like a "simple" wrapper around a GridCoverage2D to give it a friendly face, and a wrapper around the simple ones to give them a GridCoverage2D face so that they can be written out to disk or chewed by existing processes?
