Remarks	Drawing diagrams is easy (with mouse). Update 2019: uml also supported		Very basic uml editor.	Very sofisticated editor with tons of features. Including project management, scrum. Extended navigation between linked diagram/elements. GUI not as good as Vis.Paradigm, missing basic features.			Modeling Tool - Astah Professional, Astah UML and Astah Community	basic uml editor with roundtrip code engineering	It seems to be about processes. Cant find a class diagram (quickly enough).		Really stupid. Cant find prices, you need to register first	Seemed dead since 2014, but moving to github june 2019		Werkt redelijk goed. Niet geavanceerd, maar wel prettig. Printen van activity diagram is slecht	It completely supports UML2 and BPMN2, and provides extensions (modules) for SysML modeling, TOGAF modeling, Java (code generation, roundtrip & reverse)
