Software Development Magazine gives annual awards to popular software development tools in various categories. In 2003 ArgoUML was a finalist in the "Design and Analysis Tools" category. It received a runner-up award, beating many commercial tools.
However, as of version 0.20, ArgoUML is incomplete. It does not conform completely to the UML standard
and is lacking full support some diagram types including Sequence Diagrams [http://argouml.tigris.org/documentation/defaulthtml/manual/ch18.html .
