The more I keep writing about xtUML the less I see any purpose to use UML2 when developing software. Granted that UML2 have a wider application-base to select from but as a concept UML without the stringent method of xtUML doesn’t seem complete anymore.
One problem persists though, which is connected to all graphical modeling and not just xtUML, there are still no applications out there that actually support you making better designs over time. The biggest hurdle in UML is still the fact that You have to make good class-diagrams and there is no perfect formula to what that is. Over time your models will grow large and erode if you aren’t careful.
A simple example of design support: In the "coding industry" an IDE without automated refactoring capabilities or a refactoring browser isn’t really a player even so you can’t find much about commercial modeling tools with such features. Why?
