UML is awful when you pick up its meta stuff and try to use it 100% perfect. Otherwise it has all critical modeling methods and established a shared visual understanding. I prefer UML any day over eg lucidchart or Visio. Not that they cannot draw an architecture but boxes are what exactly again there? I especially like UML because there are no AWS logos and database icons. When drawing diagrams I am not there to impress how many icons I can do.
