UML sucked so much, it took OOP down the drain along with it. Unfortunately, UML also had to contaminate nascent BPM modeling, by making BPMN a fscking "profile" of UML. I'll never forget the look of once motivated process modelers when they learned they need "stereotypes" and such - the result of their modeling was more like a psychoanalysis and beyond useless. Ever had to deal with RMI, EMF, MOF, and UML's weird and unsound meta-modelling "in itself" for exchanging model data modulo the worst of XML? To hell with it.

OOP was never a good idea (apart maybe for GUIs), UML or not.

What's BPM?

Business Process Modeling, according to wikipedia.

So true, but had to downvote because of „fscking“.
