I for one find the fact that we as an industry threw away UML’s good parts together with the bad ones incredibly sad. To me, what Neal calls “AML” is a completely pointless disaster.

I agree with all of this, but it only tells half the story. The backlash against UML was so severe because vendors were pushing MDA and Executable UML at huge expense into teams that didn't want or need it. The hate this caused is still with us...

UML should have 2 levels of detail. What I see is people knowing it very well using the details of the specification and others misunderstanding this when reading or updating

Agree. Maybe a simplified version of UML would help a lot.

At one of my old jobs, we called this a "Penning Diagram", named after our boss who was infamous for drawing diagrams as visual aids while he spoke. It all made sense as he described and pointed to things, but 5 minutes after the meeting, the picture was incomprehensible.
