That is not quite true. At least Visual Paradigm exists for Linux. I consider it to be even better than Enterprise Architect.

I used both. Visual Paradigm is not even close

I wouldn't call myself a UML power user, so maybe my comparison was not challenging enough. What I like better in VP is the usability.

What did you miss in VP?

I use both code generation, and backward automated modeling from code, which is possible only on EA to my knowledge. Overall usability was worse, maybe because of old Java SWT interface (last time I used VP in 2011)
