Yeah, I can see how the sketchy stencil from Graffletopia wouldn't be for everybody. I've used it when I needed something quick and didn't have time to create my own, but it is a little limited.
Having used both Visio and OmniGraffle extensively, I can't say that OG is exponentially better than Visio--Visio is a decent tool that does quite a lot. It's just that OmniGraffle does everything more elegantly (and has a lower learning curve than Visio). With the availability of virtualization tools (I prefer VMWare Fusion by many miles over Parallels), I don't see any reason not to have a Mac, and just run Windows apps, including Visio, when needed. 2009/2/19 Alex Horstmann <a.horstm...@gmail.com>: > Hi Amy, > > Thanks!
