GDL2 totally foobar

Hello,

I'm here to vent some extreme frustration with the state of the GDL2  
library. When I started
to work on the project involving GDL2, I've been asking around  
whether the library was in
a usable state. This was confirmed to me and since it uses the same  
data model files as
the WebObjects part of the project, I was happy to give it a try.

Soon I found myself up in the elbows of heaps of code that didn't  
work. After hours and hours
wasted on bugs other people produced, I got a working copy together.

Just recently I updated the GNUstep stuff. And guess what: the whole  
GDL2 based stuff
broke down again. Now things like the most essential key-value-coding  
are FUCKED.
This means I set a NON NIL value to some EOGenericRecord and it barfs  
up about getting
a nil value. I get weirdest, uninformative and pointless exceptions  
from NSFaultHandler
and heaps of other problems.

Do you TEST the stuff at al prior to releasing it? I don't get the  
impression you're taking
this serious enough for me to use, I have a PROJECT based on this  
code and I'm very
aggravated with it.

This experience has turned me against GNUstep and the use of open  
source libraries in
general and caused great harm to my esteem of your work. Sorry,  
strictly amateur grade
stuff.

DO NOT USE.
