Dia

Dia resembles Microsoft's Visio, but it's more geared toward informal diagrams for casual use. With it, you can draw many kinds of diagrams: entity relationship, UML, network, and many other kinds, including flowcharts. You can add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of SVG to draw the shape. Edit description

Great - It's better than being limited to using only Graphviz. When you want to make graphs and you're using GNU/Linux, you are pretty limited since most proprietary software vendors think GNU/Linux users are opposed to them. That's not always the case. Some of us prefer free and open source software, but if I need a commercial application, I'll pay for it.

Just OK - Graphical glitches, hangs for seconds at a time when entering information, offers little intelligent management of diagrams, ugly. Feels like a college project.

Great - This app is fast, stable, full of features and exactly what Mechanical Engineer like me needs to layout functions and dependencies to help plan out our design.

Great - Free, easy to use and filled with spiffy features!

Just OK - Can do nearly nothing by right clicking. It's hard to snap lines to objects. It's difficult to add text to objects.

Great - Excellent software.

Just OK - There's no polish. I encountered so many little annoying bugs in the first 15 minutes that I'm about to give up on it.

Great - Easy to use. Simple. Creates nice looking diagrams. The default font size is on the small size and this makes it hard to read when the diagrams are exported to jpg.

Just OK - Works fine. Wish it could handle .vsd (visio) files for compatibility.

Great - It works. Does all your UML needs.

Great - Dia is like having the essence of the original (Pre-Microsoft!) Visio, only usable for Linux. It's easy to use, has a full symbol set, and is reasonably quick!

Great - Great as a network drawing tool. I used it extensively during University.
~ anonymous on Mar 29, 2010

Great - I have found this to be the perfect tool when I am helping our support department troubleshoot a customer's network problems. I can diagram what we think the customer is saying, and send the diagram back to Support and to the customer. It's quick, it's easy, and it just works!

Just OK - Filled with many little annoyances that break the flow. Eventually they all add up so much that I switch back to Visio. Even OpenOffice Draw is better.
