I used it for a flow chart I created. I will say, I’m not sure I thought it was equal to Visio, but maybe I needed to use it more times.

I’ll check it out, but Visio is a pretty high hurdle to overcome.

Thanks for the tip. I wasn’t buying Visio either.

I’ve used dia to actually do useful work.
Having said *that* - it has its quirks and glitches - but I still made a nice network diagram with it.

I’ve used it a couple of times over the last few years. It has the usual X11 quirks one finds on MacOS apps but is perfectly fine for knocking out a quick diagram.

I thought Visio came built into Office anymore.

I used DIA but the problem I find is it can not import or export in to Visio format.... so you can not edit or update other visio doc and others can not edit your unless they install DIA

I used Dia in Linux to create a network diagram. I was able to export the diagram to a .jpg format that could be imported into Microsoft Word. Dia is a nice enough program. I haven’t used Visio since it first came out, so I can’t really compare the two. I’m sure Visio is more slick, but anyone should test drive Dia before coughing up $250 to Microsnot.
