Re: Announcement of GUI for Creating Models

You could take it a few steps farther and reproduce some work done by a doctor(now) I used to go to school with.

personally, i much prefer the reverse approach:  i write the models,
and a tool (ie. django-extensions) generates a graphical
representation.

pros:
 - the final models are exactly what i want them to be.  even if the
graphical tool doesn't support some obscure Django feature, i can
still use it; it's just not shown graphically.

 - i don't have to learn a different (graphical) language

 - i keep fluent in the real Django language, so i don't have to
relearn it when for any reason i don't have to use that tool.

cons:
  - less sexy than not writing code
