The design time abilities of ECO5 is handled by a VisualStudio plugin we call Modlr.
All the functionality available in Modlr will also be available in a standalone application we will call Gaffr.
The Modlr logic is built with ECO technology on top of two packages; ModelLayer that introduce Class, association etc and the ExtendedModelLayer that introduce things like Diagram and PlacedClass. The multi level undo and redo of Modlr is strictly ECO functionality, currently you can even bring up the EcoSpaceDebugger of Modlr to allow you to search for things like PlacedClass.allinstances->select(self.Class.Name='SomeName'). Since Modlr is mostly a WPF application it is also a proof that ECO is presentation-tier agnostic.
