Understandable. Actually, I *didn't* get the impression that you didn't like
UML; I just got the impression that its uses weren't fully, well, useful to you.
<shameless plug>
My dad's methodology, while not directly opposing UML, challanges some of
the concepts that UML is built on (the Object Oriented approach). His
Object-Process Methodology (OPM) treats processes independently from
objects, and as equal entities. Instead of the 9 UML models, there is *just
one* - which manages to portray everything the 9 UML models do. The model is
then presented in both graphics and a collection of natural-language
sentences, with equivalent semantics. The two representations complement e/o
and appeal to both sides of the brain, both visually and lingually.
His book is going to be coming out in print sometime this next academic year
(2001-2002).

I get no percentage of his profits, just to be clear on that. ;-)
