I have been working with Rational Rose for a long time now.
Lately I feel bad that their product quality is deteriorating constantly after IBM bought it.
I just update my rose from version 5 to latest version 6. It is a real pain for me. I uninstalled and installed version Rational rose enterprise version 6. I upgraded all old rose models by reverse engineering. Then I tried to make some new sequence diagrams.
Each time I right click the whole application crashes. If however we create a project it works fine. I thought it’s because of wrong installation, so I reinstalled Rose. The problem was not solved.
So with thin choices left I just reverted back to version 5. And to my dismay I could not load that model back; it says error while reading petal files. So not all sub-unit could be loaded.
Rational purity also crashed every now and then and always for COM components.
Please let me know some professional latest good object modeling tools if you have tried one.
Also please take care while deciding to buy Rational Rose Enterprise Edition 6.
