UML is not a documentation tool, it´s a communication tool. It is a standardized way to communicate. It removes ambiguity. UML is the best way to manage, communicate and handle a large amounts of complexity. Most of the free UML tools are very basic and does not have traceability features (we can see many in the comments), and this is really a no-go if you want to understand large systems.

I agree with your view on UML, but now I'm curious what you consider documents to be for.

  I can assure that documentation is not UML. Documentation can contain exported diagrams that were created using UML.

Documentation is communication, albeit asynchronous.

  Documentation is a tool for communication, not the same thing. The dictionary is our best friend =]

    No, documentation is communication, not just a tool for it. Please don’t be condescending and incorrect.
