Yes - I don't think dia comes close to matching Visio, but it is more
a matter of Visio having a lot more polish and integratration than
having better features.

You get better results than visio if you use the right tools because
Dia and Visio are both general purpose diagram tools. Umbrello is a
dedicated UML editor and so quicker and better than either for real
UML Diagrams (as well as supporting XMI).

The main problem with Visio is that you can't export it to anything
else, it only runs on windows and it has a nontrivial cost.
