After StarUML decided to start to randomly crap out on me, while potentially ruining my mostly D projects in it by locking them into the proprietary *.MDJ format (although it would be easy to reverse engineer it, since it's JSON-based). It's also quite abandoned as of now, with no hopes of ever improving the constant crashes and other issues.

I mainly need one for class diagrams, so that must be a strong point of the software, also it would be great if it outputted to the non-proprietary *.UML format, so I can include it with the source code.

It's not an editor but I use PlantUML [1]. It's a reasonably simple/readable text format so it would easily ship with your source code. Its main downside is that you don't have much control over the layout of the generated diagrams.
