Did you read the ultra simple example I sent few hours ago ?
Who saids that using existing metamodels in EMF needs mastering the
whole framework (generation, validation, templating, etc....)

There is not so many options :

1°) the designer has 'low' programming skills, then he definitely
needs a visual tool (or a good text editor, but in this case, XML
serialized EMF and 'pure' XML are not so different)

2°) the designer has  'medium' programming skills, then please check
again the source of my previous email.

Once again, using an existing EMF product does not require to know the
whole framework exactly as using XML does not requires to know how to
write a parser.
