I am using the dia for years. Not daily usage, but i am using it. I
must to tell, that it is good tool (i will not use bad tool), but it
has a lot of own things. Understanding it is not easy and not
straightforward.

The dia is not very intuitive - but all is documented, then one must do
a lot of reading, even for basic usage. Yes, by the years i read a
lot of documentation, tutorials, ... I was success with own shapes,
etc. But...

I did small test with my students - i leave them to work with dia
without any description. Simple: here is tool, work with it. All from
them fails to create simple network diagram. After small and
simple description from me - all was success. Then it is good tool, but
can be terrible start to work with it.

regards
