Might be true of Jacobsen since he had left Ericsson by that
time but I thought Jim R was still with GEC when he went to
Rational?

I don't think they've ever claimed to be best buddies.
Several disagreements have been acknowledged in articles etc
But they all recognised that the method wars would do more harm
than good.

I think that there are plenty now:
Together, Object Domain, iLogix etc...
But they are all complex tools doing a very complex job
so they cost lots. Best tool for small projects is
a tool like Visio, DIA, SmartDraw etc. IMHO
