I generally agree. See http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/31/1726208
for a discussion titled 'Is UML Really Dead, Or Only Cataleptic?"

However I've been using Telelogic's Rhapsody "Developer in Ada" Tool
for the last year and generally liking it as a large project design
tool.  Some aspects of UML & SysML are useful but some of the concepts
and terminology don't either map well to Ada, or are otherwise
insufficient.  Wish I had more time to write on this topic but I
don't...
