Why aren't we all doing model driven development yet? [closed]

Question

I am a true believer in Model Driven Development, I think it has the possibility to increase productivity, quality and predictability. When looking at MetaEdit the results are amazing. Mendix in the Netherlands is growing very very fast and has great results.

I also know there are a lot of problems

• versioning of generators, templates and framework
• projects that just aren't right for model driven development (not enough repetition)
• higher risks (when the first project fails, you have less results than you would have with more traditional development)
• etc

But still these problems seem solvable and the benefits should outweigh the effort needed.

Question: What do you see as the biggest problems that make you not even consider model driven development ?

I want to use these answers not just for my own understanding but also as a possible source for a series of internal articles I plan to write.
