> Core Data objects are not NSObject objects.
Well, they are; they inherit NSManagedObject, which descends from NSObject. It's true that model objects need to follow a bunch of conventions, but that's by design.
> Core Data merges the concepts of your on-disk model with your in-memory model
That's a feature. I rather like how it forces you into rethinking your design.
From your other points it sounds (mind you, sounds, I am not judging) like your app was the wrong fit for Core Data. It's not a replacement for a full-fledged SQL RDBMS and was never intended to be. Core Data works swell for its intended scope.
