* Kivio mp has a few more drawing tools, like bezier curves, circles and rectangles. The only real shapes you can draw in the free Kivio are predefined stencils.
As long as such important features are held back for the pay version, Kivio will never go very far. I don't mind the extra stencils being held back, but drawing tools? That sort of thing from theKompany makes even Ximian's Microsoft envy look good.

AFAIK theKompany has nothing to do with the KOffice version of Kivio. They don't hold anything back and they don't work on it.
BTW Peter Simonsson and Nicolas Goutte did a lot of work lately. So I'm sure Kivio will improve.
