Wow. It looks like a lot of work went into that. I think it could be a very valuable tool. However, it's biggest disadvantage is its reliance on the Jasmine IDE. It also seems that many of the problems I had when I tried it were a result of being tied to Jasmine's data tools (problems connecting to MS SQL Server).
Is Jasmine really doing a lot for the tool? How hard would it be to make it standalone?
