This is an understated truth about most iconic notations let alone anything instrumented into a CASE tool. That is that the Agile movement introduced a meanness and immediate gratification factor into the very idea that modeling software was useful or necessary. Concepts as simple as an input arrow going into a process would enter from the left of a circle or box and the output would exit from the right were the object of debate and ridicule.

Why bother? Skippy, the agile programmer, had already coded something up that happened to feature the end-users favorite color.

Eye candy always trumps rigor and deliberate modeling of components.

Formal notations didn't stand a chance.
