In the coming decade people will leave Java and other programming languages for graphical tools. It seems that Model Driven Architecture (MDA) the dream of many programmers for decades is coming true. With model data gaining freedom from tools with XMI developers have never had a more graphical representation of what they write.

Unlike the SmallTalk, VB, and PowerBuilder craze developers now will be able to truely move between tools without the need of a massive porting project making code timeless and without language specifics.
