Easy and intuitive! [Posted on 2005-10-29]
My favorite thing about this application is the ability to import graphics into the various templates. I just completed a LAN map of our facility using the actual manufacturer images of all our equipment. Using the actual product images helps anyone not immediately familiar with it to quickly locate the gear that pertains to their part of the LAN and so aids in troubleshooting. And it looks so cool! I also created some diagrams of a friends recent accident. All this over a two day period. I've used mainly PC based Corel products over the years (Corel Flow, Draw, Paint etc.) and I'm glad to finally have an app that's Mac based so I can throw my PC away. Highly recommended.

I want to love this piece of software... [Posted on 2006-11-18]
With OmniGraffle, I have been liberated from my days of using xfig to create diagrams for my papers -- well, almost. The software, when it works, is a 5 star product. Unfortunately, OmniGraffle still has some major bugs that need attention before anyone should feel comfortable paying for it.

The program crashes almost every other time I try to export to a PDF or EPS file. This on its own would be tolerable, but I notice that OmniGraffle loses many mouse events. So the component you're dragging may be dropped randomly before reaching its destination. Sometimes clicking on buttons or menu items won't do anything. Worse, after clicking once and getting no response, clicking again will be interpreted as a double-click event. Given the interface that's very dependent on the mouse, this is just a deal-breaker. Since bug fixes to previous versions of OmniGraffle generally appeared in new releases with a new price tag, I don't expect these issues to be resolved until at least OmniGraffle 5.0.

One of the most useful programs I have ever used [Posted on 2007-01-21]
Amazingly efficient and well designed program to create flowcharts and diagrams. Tons of uses, and great for visual learners (as a law student I use it to make diagrams to help me understand legal concepts).
