However, Dia is a generic diagram program and doesn't offer all the 
UML-specific features Umbrello offers, such as code generation and parsing 
(reverse-engineering a diagram from some code). I also believe Umbrello 
supports a bigger subset of UML. On the other hand, Dia is more flexible, e.g. 
you can get away with mixing in non-standard notations (whether that's a good 
thing or not depends on what the UML is being used for ;-) ) or simply drawing 
standard-compliant notations outside the supported subset of UML (neither Dia 
nor Umbrello support all of UML) by hand. But that flexibility also means you 
have to draw some stuff by hand which Umbrello figures out automatically for 
you.
