They often splits things up into too small a pieces, as they are a literal translation of the grammar and not a logical representation for end users. That said it, it's probably better to have well maintained generated versinos, than out of date hand created ones. Just a shame there isn't a tool that allows for easy hand editing of rail raod diagrams. I think part of the problem is caused by the lack of consistency in our grammar for exressions - evals, return values etc. Edson is working on that so we have a generic and clean grammar for expressions, this should add more regularity to our grammar.
