In the past, my group used TogetherSoft's TogetherJ Control Center as our development IDE. It suited our needs but was a bit heavy weight, slow, and overkill for the task at hand. The modeling features were decent though. The worst part about it, is that I had to turn almost every automatic feature off in order to get it to perform poorly. Yes poorly, if those features were all turned on, it was virtually unusable. Now I see that my friends at Borland just released a Free Community Edition of Together. While this in itself is a worthwhile and noble effort to bring developers back to their platform, they went and alienated the developers on the OS X platform. Keep in mind there is a pay for version for OS X. I don't know how many conferences you all have been to in the past, but Powerbooks are the norm now. It's amazing how many of these elegant machine grace the desks of developers around the world. For the record, I'd like to give Borland a round of applause for making it easy for me to steer clear of the Together product yet again.
