<div>I don't see the point of two separate tools for managing and developing - or do you use a RIP to print WORD-files?

Well, I don't use Word to organize my documents  
 

<div>Don't get me wrong, I would like to have an independent RAW-tool (or some of them) and a seamless integration of those in a DAM, but the interfaces are critical.

In fact I agree. But critical doesn't mean "impossible". As a software engineer I can tell you that it would be perfectly possible to have a seamless integration. The problem is that the solution should be defined and supported by the DAM tool, which is the "master", and Adobe clearly has no interest in favouring the competitors...
