Alejandro,
I dont recall all the reason, but diagramming tool was decided on months
ago. :) So it will remain DIA as far as GNU Enterprise is concerned.
I believe the big factor was "keeping it in the GNU family". Also, I
belive the other tools were still barely usable and/or written in Java.
Dia is not perfect, but it will work for what we need for now.
