We also believe that the user should have a choice for the concrete
syntax and moreover that graphical notations are well-suited for model
transformations.

Very true. Currently we use only the Notation model and parts of the GMF
runtime. Actually the editor in the screenshot is pure EMF+GEF, but for
the EMFT project we are reimplementing everything more or less from
scratch. I also agree with you that multi-sheet support in GMF would be
really nice. It certainly would make our life easier ;). Anyway, I don't
think that our code can be a basis for extending GMF in that direction,
since it is too specific to our editor.
Cheers,
Christian
