So we can assume that Agile is killing UML :) I'm just kidding. I agree that UML is useful when we're working in waterfall (as I had in my previous work).

Something I miss in Agile is that developers are forgetting about documentation creation at all. They are excusing himself

because we're working in Agile there is no need to have good documentation, we'll improve that in next spring etc.

And on the end of a day we haven't any documentation.That approach is in my opinion wrong.

Yes, although it sounds very stereotypical, I see this all the time where "agile" teams don't have any documentation (often because they claim that the code is the documentation, which it isn't). This is simply a misinterpretation of the manifesto, and agile in general.
