Well I didn't write a paper on it at the time nor did I take any  
notes. So I can't give you an analysis of what is specifically  
lacking in GDL2 and AJR, just my judgement from memory. Also things  
have changed quite a bit at least with respect to AJR, so it wouldn't  
even be helpful today.

The general reasoning for starting with EOAccess was, that I had to  
start with something and figured that replacing frameworks from the  
top down (EOInterface, EOAccess, EOControl) was the way to go.
