Using Skencil for a lot of diagram work I can say it works nicely once you learn some ropes.
- Image export
- Use the Script -> Export Raster from the menu. For low resolution image you might want to use gimp for postprocessing.
- Connection points
- Using a grid helps a bit here.. Note that you can put any object in the grid layer and Skencil will snap to it.

Grid alignment and connection points really just aren't the same. Like TGE, I often want connectors to follow the objects they're connecting as the objects move around. I'm actually even pickier: I'd like connectors that adjust their connection points based on relative orientation. If you have a lot of objects and aren't sure at first how you're going to arrange them, this is _essential_.
