You might also take a look at Dia which is an open source program that runs very much like Visio. It was developed to be easy for Visio users to switch.
Dia does an acceptable job mimicing Visio's basic diagramming capabilities, but that's about it. When you find yourself needing the hardcore features of Visio, there really isn't an acceptable substitute. Two of those features that I directly need and could make immediate use of are network discovery and mapping and directory schema and architecture design. The first takes a real-world snapshot and presents you with a visualization of it suitable for network design documentation. The second takes a visual layout of directory services and generates AD schema and configurations for you (though, having fiddled with it, it's reasonably usable for other directories, too.)
Ah, well... I'm completely off topic now.
