I'm really interested to hear what you think about Model-driven Software Development for Java and/or .NET.

Does it save time? Does it improve quality?

MDA is a bit of an overloaded concept. Sometimes it means turning UML or another type of diagrams in to executable code. I've never seen this work out well with the tools available nowadays. It usually causes projects to get results really fast and then cause a maintanance nightmare because the tools available don't really support big teams working on visual diagrams and because people start working in the diagrams as well as the generated code.

I've seen something that looked a lot like domain driven design being referred to as MDA, if you mean that I'm all for it :-)
