Actually, while they aren't taught any more, I have found them quite
useful, especially in situations where the logic needs to be analyzed
often... It can also allow you to plan more easily where dividing
lines between major sets of subroutines really should fall... Thus
allowing for very clean modules and headers, as well as dividing up
the labor between people...

Besides, it's fun to play with those little template thingys and make
all the neat shapes...
