Well, we here are in the process of releasing a huge free software project,
which uses gmodel files extensively. These are converted automatically from
nib-files to save time.
I would prefer spending my time in fixing bugs, than replacing announced
deprecated stuff which just works.
Additionally, I'm a fan of ASCII formats like gmodel-files (or Renaissance),
so I never thought much of using Gorm yet. I'm more of waiting for some ASCII
support of Gorm.

I'm adding the missing tags using a script and a little tool. So I am able to
fully automatically convert my nib-files to gmodel-files. This being about 200.
gmodel-files still have advantages and that gives them a right to live.
Best wishes,
