Lambda the Ultimate

I sometimes get a bee in my bonnet to look for tools to do model driven design and the like. So, I found a list of verification and synthesis tools. The mind boggles. For little people such as myself, I wish there were a table somewhere that listed the range of features and then showed what each system did/not support. I want stuff that would help with application development: user interface and state machine (e.g. audio playback engine + ui controlling it) type modeling and code generation (and round tripping). Anybody know of such guidance for the laymen?
