Do people actually use UML in industry?
I've never actually seen it used (or mentioned for that matter) in the few years I've been a software engineer...

most probably yeah, at least there are some informal uses whenever you make some diagram docs .. you'll end up aligning with uml 'vocab'.
I helped a european project on a uml graph versioning between various industrial uml applications, but I'd consider these niche.
IBM was heavy on UML since they bought Rational suite.. but I know IBM didn't use Rational for themselves (at least my department).. but surely Rational users did.
I think heavily regulated sectors are the most prevalent users of UML.. they like having a standard, having a lot of documentation etc.
