A small user study performed at the MIT AI lab showed that users preferred drawing and editing software diagrams in Tahuti rather than a traditional paint application or a professional UML tool.
	Tahuti was used in four classrooms in Columbia University this summer to help teach 65 students object oriented programming.  The system was well-received and appeared to aid in both the initial program design and progressive program development, although a formal study was not done.  Even simply having a graphical picture of the program allowed the student to maintain a clear picture of the program structure throughout the coding process.
	Tahuti has been integrated into the MIT AI Lab Intelligent Room for use in software design meetings, including the design of agent-based systems.
