At first sight, KobrA's strategy of creating "localized" views of each component may seem to involve a great deal more redundancy and verbosity than is necessary. To a certain extent this is true. However, provided that suitable tool support is available, we believe the advantages of separating concerns, treating all components uniformly, and fully elaborating their properties from a number of orthogonal viewpoints, greatly outweigh the costs. They not only simplify and clarify the initial development process, they make the resulting components and component-based systems much more maintainable and reusable.
