I think that Andreas understand the current design goals of CD perfectly well,
Actually I missed the parts that others have quoted that seem to indicate Andreas knows *less* about it than I thought.
FWIW: Instead of thinking of Core Data as a non-client-server *database* framework, I wonder if it would help to think of it as a scalable *document* framework. Suppose I'm writing a new application, and like many object-oriented applications a "document" in my application is an object graph. Core Data gives me a framework for saving and querying this object graph. This way, developers don't have to re-solve those plumbing problems over and over, and we can focus on implementing app-specific features.
Anyway, there seem to be enough voices chiming in on this, so I don't think I have anything more to add.
