There's nothing really wrong about UML, but I find that its association with legacy software development kind of hurts it more than its actual spec and intent.

I think the biggest thing a diagram should show you is the way data can and cannot flow. People tend to overcomplicate them with detail that's better suited for a corresponding text document. It's a visual, it should convey things quickly and without much noise.
