The Guy-Who-Uses-a-Mac guide to diagram editors:

This is pretty much the benchmark for diagram editors as far as I can tell. Whenever I need to draw a nice diagram I whip out the powerbook. Aside from that I use Dia, but it can be quite obnoxious and the standard library is pretty homely.

I second that! Omnigraffle won me over the first time I tried it. I've tried to use Dia so many
times and never been able to produce an acceptable diagram without cursing endlessly for hours.

Anyone working on a diagram editor should try out Omnigraffle and learn from it. It blows away
even Viseo.

Wow, Omnigraffle works really well on Linux, oh, wait.
No it doesn't.

Wait, is this Apple Weekly News? I thought it was Linux Weekly News.
Oh. Somehow I got confused somewhere.

Omnigraffle looks pretty nice. Shame it has no relevance here.
