[clug] Suggestion for a good UML 2.0 drwaing tool

[Ben Coughlan]

+1 for a commercial product. Unfortunately I think this kind of  
graphical design is one place that FOSS is lacking in at the moment.

Having just spent 4.5 years struggling with dia through my undergrad -  
always searching for another FOSS alternative, it is such a relief to  
finally be using a real graphics tool.  In my case OmniGraffle (yes  
I'm a mac-man).

As one of my bosses continues to try and teach me, the time I waste  
accommodating a terrible tool is worth much more than the cost of  
buying a decent one.

It's hard to justify spending $100 on software as a student, given you  
don't get paid for your time, but it's worth it in the long-run.

P.S. @Jack - no to XFig, just no...
