The main reason was that we reused a lot of the existing PDE editor framework code which doesn't use databinding. However, in the PDE Incubator (thanks to Benjamin Cabe), we have started work on what the DS editor would look like if it was fully based on EMF + Databinding: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/pde-incubator/modeling/plugins/ My goal is to move most if not all of PDE's editors to this approach in the e4 timeframe. I want to use EMF to manage the model and different versions of that model. I want to use Databinding to help build the UI for that model... in effect saving a lot of boilerplate code. Expect a future blog post on the awesomeness in terms of code savings and other cool things with this approach. Boris, we didn’t use JFace Databinding for the tooling in the SDK.
