My personal favorite... although commercial is Together. It's a fantastic
tool (Owned now by Borland :( ) and very comparable to Rational's tool.

I think I'm going to lose it, here, fellows.  Visio is the one reason I
still rely on Windoesn't for developing software.  UML diagrams are
good, and I wouldn't want to design an application without them; but
there really isn't a Linux equivalent to Visio.  Argo, last I looked,
just doesn't hold a candle.

And yet, the Windon't machine I use for this purpose has been
spontaneously rebooting--a lot.  And the last couple of times this
happened, my Visio document was corrupted, so that Visio wouldn't open
it (even denied that it was a Visio file!).  So both times, my work was
lost permanently.  This is unacceptable.

I wanted to ask you all, once more, if there are ANY good UML tools for
Linux--anything better than Argo, just to raise a standard.  But now I'm
ready to bust my knuckles on this POS WinXP tower, and I would consider
almost any alternative, so long as it's Linux based.

Have you UML lovers any creative ideas, tools and techniques, that might
help me break my Visio addiction?  I've come to depend on UML diagrams
for design; and I'm almost ready to consider pencil and paper, but not
quite.  :]
