another missed tool

Parent article: The Grumpy Editor's guide to diagram editors

Another free diagram drawing tool that should be mentioned is umbrello. It
is a "UML modeller", and as such can escape searches for "diagram", but at
least in my case the diagrams I need are mostly UML.

I used it only for one presentation, and I found it sufficiently intuitive
and usable to do the job. The other toos I have used for diagrams are xfig
and dia, but I don't do this often enough to have a clear preference.

I second the idea to have all the "grumpy editor's reviews" linked from
the main page!

Thanks, great to know you like it.

Modeller is just an academic word for diagrams, maybe I should call it a
UML diagram tool too to catch some more searches.
