re: Class Diagrams

I use class diagrams to design modules, layout architecture, and define ASP.NET WAE models.

Examples here:

I also use class diagrams to develop Profiles (something MS uses DSLs for)

I use class diagrams to do models for Product Line Engineering:

I have a question:

Will the Microsoft VSTS 2010 Architecture UML tools be used?

As happy as I am to see Microsoft going with UML, I am hoping the grapevine is wrong, and that the tools are not exclusively for the VSTS 2010 Architecture version. I am afraid if that is the case, they won't be getting used very much at all. At least not in the environments I have been in lately.
