You need to do some catchup about T4… what are you comparing it against to say it’s lacking ‘multiple file output support’ for instance? If you’re comparing it to one of the available codegen tools out there then that comparison is not really much useful as T4 doesn’t include pretty much any tooling at all and MS didn’t want to include it there because you can EASILY add support for what you’re asking (you would need to understand how T4 works of course, this won’t happen automagically) and have multiple output files from a single template. If you bother to google a bit you will also find open source projects that have already implemented this support.

I’ve been using T4 for some time now, I do understand how it works, I’ve written a custom host for it to fit my particular needs and I’m very happy with it. I’m also using the T4 Editor because I actually charge for my work so I can easily “recover” that money in one hour.

I’m hopeful that Microsoft taking modeling seriously will make North Americans stop and notice something the Europeans have been noticing for a while. Given the head start we have at Eclipse, I can imagine that folks will end up looking closely at all the available alternatives, not just the latest Microsoft ones…
