Designer is a phenomenal product. It does things that absolutely need to be done with any serious development project. Its major flaw is that it is incapable to beating managers with a stick who insist on writing code first and documenting things while they are in testing-production ... which we all know never actually happens.
If you have management that will support using the tool properly get it. And yes the training requirements are quite steep. But if your management is like most management pass it by.
