NB is missing what appears to be very useful
feature for many developers: some basic UML
diagram builder. It doesn't have to be full-blown
UML support, just the ability to look at your

It seems that this kind of feature falls squarely
into UML tool domain.
 Perhaps what you really want is some kind of
Light UML.  Some of us
were talking about it, but nothing serious so far
