Hello,

I have recently fallen in love with Balsamiq Mockups for doing my UI mockups. I love how it' s low fidelity doesn't take away from the the functionality you are trying got portray.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows of a UML tool that has a similar theme. Most of them hare huge complex, and expensive beasts, that do code round tripping, linking to requirements, etc. I also don't want something that is tied to an IDE like eclipse, or Xcode.

I have tried gliffy, but wasn't entirely nuts about it, and I don't like subscriptions. I have tried violet, but found it a little clunky. I loved how yUML was text based. By far the fastest input of any uml tool I have used. My only complaint with yUML is that it is online, and pretty limited still. With complex relationships, finding the right syntax can be tedious too; it needs a mouse input option as well.

Models for mac Models! (http://models.wowsystems.pt/) really caught my attention. Great price, looks like they are going to keep it simple. But the reviews seem lukewarm, and they have no trial. I have emailed them a couple times in the last two months asking about a trial. Both times they have told me that version 1.2 will have a trial, and will be out within a two days (later today or tomorrow), and then a month later it is still not out. So I would say that development on it has likely slowed right down, and so there is no way I am going to take a chance on it without a trial, because every version they put out may be their last.

Hmm.... if I didn't have so many projects on the go, I might attempt this!
