im pretty pessimistic on the "generically expose any model through a GUI" idea since its as old as toast, and I've never seen an actual real world application using it successfully. At best, you'll see it in some arcane "builder" types of systems which are designed to be used by developers in the first place (and are generally just a PITA versus textual coding).
Other than that, humans want to interact with an interface designed for humans. This is why we have the "view".
