When you pick technologies to build tools empowering hundreds of your engineers, you aim at making the best choice. Open-Source is the best when you play the long term.
The Eclipse Sirius project page exposes project activity and release information, helping you to assess the effort which goes into maintaining and updating the technology. The Eclipse Project Handbook explains the governance and transparency mechanisms behind those project records.

Each release brings a number of improvements and fixes to the core technology. 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝟲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟲𝟬 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 !
At the time of publication, we were committed to maintaining a similar pace for 2023. We were still at the beginning of that year and both Sirius and Sirius Web had already shipped one release.
Building graphical modeling tools can be a complex undertaking, especially if they need to support many features and functions. At Obeo, we have extensive experience in this area and strive to make the process as easy and accessible as possible. To accomplish this, we rely on several strategies, including modular design, higher-level abstractions, and the ability to iterate quickly on a tool definition. In the last few years we have kept these principles while transitionning the technologies to the Web.
