UML is a tool. Like anytool, it is useful in some situations and it is not in others.
I got introduced to it at university and, at first, wanted to destroy it, but after a while using it more and more, I came to find out that it has it's usefulness. While discussing assesments with pear students, I realized how much more productive we got by communicating our initial designs using UML diagrams, even on plain paper.
Some/many open source projects would most certainly gain a lot by producing UML diagrams. It could provide an at-a-glance general idea of the whole project in a matter of a few minutes, instead of going thrue a painful code analysis.

I think it's true. FOSS misses a good case tool.
