Thanks for the positive feedback.

Understood. We will try to care about it as soon as possible.
As you know, with UML 2.7 (or 2.6?) the UML metamodel will be largely
simplified, and UML2 tools may as well wait until then to regenerate
everything.
Until then, GMF Tooling may just try to be as good as possible for all
its users, including Papyrus.
As mentioned, the purpoose of GMF Tooling (including UML2 Tools) is to
support Papyrus, not to compete with it.
Regards,
Philipp
