This is a valid view, of course. If you look at it from the other side,
which is our users and your customers, you mandate a specific
environment because you don't implement everything yourself. Both views
have advantages and drawbacks for each party. 

I'd personally have the GUI mapping features first, and the integration
with source files and IDE second, because of that comparison. Roundtrip
and integrated development is, in my experience, the last thing you
need, not the first. I agree that synchronization in an IDE would be
nice, but is it really more important than the primary objective, a GUI
mapping tool? 

I also think you will double the audience for that tool if you provide
it either standalone or also as an IntelliJ plugin. Shouldn't be a big
deal if you kept the UI/plugin interfaces separate.

Anyway, I'll check it out if I ever try Eclipse again, and it will
certainly help some of our Eclipse users.
