As I've been reading this "UMLish modellers" thread, it's sounding like the
problem isn't so much with the Unified Modeling *Language* as it is with the
available UML tools out there.
Is this a reasonable conclusion to draw (at least based upon what's been
posted on this thread so far)?
I've been working with UML for under a year (i.e. fiddling, experimenting,
and reading books on it) and I think it's a good tool to use... it can help
one visualize and I've found it easier *for me* to perhaps brainstorm out
the rough sketch for my app's data model or the event sequence in a threaded
app when I've got a lot of things going on and need to keep things in some
degree of sync. The trouble for me is finding a good UML tool that's
somewhat affordable... oh, and runs on a Mac. :-) Doesn't seem to be much
out there.
So... to sorta bring this back to a Cocoa-dev thread, maybe that's the
opportunity available here: for someone to make a UML tool that actually
fits real-world needs and situations where UML would be helpful/applicable
in the development cycle. And the more it can integrate into a Mac
development paradigm (be that Cocoa or Carbon, Objective C or C++, Project
Builder or CodeWarrior) and mentality. That it can change management
facilities (e.g. revision control), that there's some degree of sync between
diagrams and code so as code changes diagrams get updated too (maybe
documentation as well... now THAT would be an IDE, wouldn't it?). :-)
