I'm just saying that for development, it seems very cumbersome. If I could bring in a UML diagram and tie that to other objects and needs, I could create a panel that explains the new functionality and then hand it off to a developer. This IDE would be a great way to share information for small tasks such as adding features, debugging problems, etc. Don't get your britches up in a bunch just because someone threw out a random idea. I find that some of the best ideas and innovations have come about because someone was just playing with an idea and it happened to be much more than it seemed.
