It may be useful, but aside from sequence diagrams I rarely see anyone using it; its not just CASE that has died but the wider field of systematic analysis and modeling has declined in relative importance. Not having a good model of how it fits into short-iteration development workflows that eschew big upfront design seems to be the main cause.
And for what remains of that space, there are newer tools occupying some of it.
