The adoption ofModel Driven Development (MDD) promises, in the view of pundits, several benets. This work, based on the data collected through an opinion survey with 155 Italian IT professionals, aims at performing a reality check and answering three questions: (i) Which benets are really expected by users of modeling and MDD? (ii) How expectations and achievements dier? (iii) Which is the role of modeling experience on the ability of correctly forecasting the obtainable benets? Results include the identication of clusters of benets commonly expected to be achieved together, the calculation of the rate of actual achievement of each expected bene- t (varying dramatically depending on the benet) and the \proof" that experience plays a very marginal role on the ability of predicting the actual benets of these approaches.

Abstract
The adoption ofModel Driven Development (MDD) promises, in the view of pundits, several benets. This work, based on the data collected through an opinion survey with 155 Italian IT professionals, aims at performing a reality check and answering three questions: (i) Which benets are really expected by users of modeling and MDD? (ii) How expectations and achievements dier? (iii) Which is the role of modeling experience on the ability of correctly forecasting the obtainable benets? Results include the identication of clusters of benets commonly expected to be achieved together, the calculation of the rate of actual achievement of each expected bene- t (varying dramatically depending on the benet) and the \proof" that experience plays a very marginal role on the ability of predicting the actual benets of these approaches.
