This isn't an argument about which is better because I think they both have their strengths and weaknesses (you can do tons of stuff with Visio, and Excel, xml and macros that you can't do with InDesign). My main point is that any UX/UI/IxD should know BOTH programs especially because they don't work well together, and if you are a consultant, you may often find yourself in a client situation where there are existing files that need to be modified.

Visio doesn't even come close to what you can do w/ID for wireframing and documentation. ID's typography control, integration w/other Adobe products, and use of Bridge far exceed what you can do w/Visio. You can use either one, but I'd stick w/ID if that's where you're comfortable.
