Yup. At college we got sucked into the waterfall method which was pure hell and made me not care about diagrams. Later down my professional carreer I realised how much value diagrams provide in an agile setting.

Also very handy when mentoring team members because you can get them to understand the problem and solution without having to write code. Gives me a comfortable feeling after spending a good 30 min instead of pair programming, and doing most of it by myself.

I've been enjoying plantuml with markdown, and specially inkdrop with their vim plugin!
