I am inclined to agree, though my experience is limited. I work on a project that is trying to model all its software using Enterprise Architect. EA has some nice features, but overall I find it clumsy and frustrating. Some problems are intrinsic to UML (for instance it has no concept of linking use case information to other elements). And I don't know of any way to model functions (only classes). Others are EA's fault. For instance it is very slow and clumsy to add or edit lists of items (such as class methods or database fields). Also, shared development is a pain because there is no concurrent version control (it uses CVS to keep track of revisions, but not in a concurrent way; checking out a package locks out everybody else). I tried using a competing product but the interporability was terrible. Which brings up another point: it is likely the original poster would need to do a lot of work for each CASE tool supported. -- Russell
