I agree to your point that that we need to write more understandable code(whatever the influences may be). By tools I meant some application which would help me understand already available code (well written or otherwise). Something which would quickly let me jump into the code and start working even when I do not have any background information about the code base.

Does something like JavaDoc, PHPDoc, JSDoc help?

That would be an awesome tool though. Sounds like a great startup idea if someone can figure out how to build something like that :-)

Yes, a great startup idea. What do you think of our product, i.e the video on our blog (the Architexa blog)?
Currently we are starting with Java, but do intend to get to other languages. Feel free to vote for your language on the blog or on the HN post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1338310
Looks interesting, I like how you can drill down into a sequence diagram, something I have tried to find in a tool in the past.

What languages/platforms does it support? .Net?

It's a very interesting take on UML tooling. Your product has a lot of potential. I'm curious to play around with it once it's released.
We are letting people in slowly for the trial version of our tool to provide good support. I would suggest you to sign up here (http://www.architexa.com/) and we will get back to you. Thanks for showing interest in our product.
Nice. Reminds me of some of the plugins for .Net Reflector, except more interactive.
