I agree with you...

I have spent close to 2 years now looking at some CASE tools. The ones I
have seen so far (and I persume the rest are not any different) suffer from
this silly formula: SA + SD = SE.

When are CASE tool developers going to wake up to the fact that SD is a
waste of time? Let's see some CASE support for OOD.
