Whining about how it doesn't support massive

Now, I'm starting to wonder whether you had ever designed a database
application (or framework). Then you should have noticed that this
is a fundamental requirement. Maybe I'm biased, but I cannot think
of any modern third party framework related to the database domain
that does not support multi user.
No offense Andreas, but I think you're biased. :) Or rather you're
coming at this from the wrong direction. Yes, we would all love it if
Core Data was a true database framework in the sense you mean.
(Arguably an Excel library is a "modern third party framework related
to the database domain," but that's not what you mean.) We'd love it
if EOF had been revived. And initial misunderstanding of what Core
Data does is perfectly understandable. But it should eventually
become clear -- as it did to you -- what Core Data is and isn't. It
doesn't make sense to say scalable multi-user client-server support is
a fundamental requirement for something that is explicitly not
designed to be multi-user or client-server.
I was going to say more but bbum beat me to it. :)
