Hi, there are two features that are absolutely necessary for Draw.

1) Auto-Layout
When you create a flowchart and you organize the boxes, it would be amazing,
you have to possibility to change the whole organization to a completely new
perspective. That is auto-layout.
There is a free program called yED that do this exactly.

2) Importing from Calc / Excel to create automatically flowcharts
This feature is very easy to achive and incredibly great.
Imagine you have in a spreadsheet two colums

Source     Target
John       Sales
Mike       R+D
Peter      Sales
Dana       Accounting
Richard    Sales

In the source colum you to something that connect with the target, and so on.
Then you fill all the rows, save your spreadsheet and when you import it from
Draw, it create automatically the flowchart.
There is a video in Spanish that illustrate perfectly the example.
To see how this works, please watch this video:
