        My experience has been that Rational Rose, in an attempt to cash
in and keep up with the demand for a working implementation, have
violated the non-Rational parts of the programming paradigm.  Their
stuff may be designed with UML, but it's often insufficiently tested and
their UIs are atrocious.

        UML does not help one be a better programmer; it helps make one
a better component designer.  But both UI design and component and
system testing are different disciplines.
