Rational Ada is important for Ada because, if Rational didn't do an
Ada compiler, do you think they would bother with Ada support for UML?
I doubt it personally. I believe if Rational Ada is dumped, then so
will Rational Rose's Ada support. How many other UML tools can say
they have the sort of Ada support that Rose has? Rational Rose is by
far the most visible UML tool available - if there is no Ada support
in the tool, then those who can't be bothered doing their homework
(and there are a lot of them around) will see that there is no visible
UML based design tool with Ada support, so will assume that they
cannot carry out their project in Ada and use some other language
instead.
