I sometimes create UML diagrams but I try to simplify them as much as possible. Sequence and Entity relationship diagrams are useful but the rest is rubbish IMHO. I tend to use them only when I'm in the planning phase but I ditch them when they become obsolete and the application is ready. This might not be the best workflow but updating diagrams is horrible. You also can't really use UML for functional languages like Clojure. I feel that they are becoming more obsolete with each passing year.
