I use Dia too. The default objects connections do have shortcuts assigned, so that reduces repeatedly going back to the toolbox. Freeplane is pretty good to store manage information. Its surprising that mindmap file format is not yet popular. The best thing is it allows to collapse nodes,

No. By looking at a basic .mm file structure, I can see it is not fit for representing flowcharts. It is hierarchical, so it is not good for all programs. If you had a circular flow, where a parent would also be a ((great) grand) child of itself, collapsing it would hide it by recursion.

wikipedia is how i came to know about freeplane. I was at that time looking for an alternative to freemind. Are you talking about the node with text Free Positioned Node? It curved arrows are not really links, it is actually only linked with the node Demo below it. And it looks more weird

I noticed the node so I included the link to the picture. Didn't really check the feature out. For diagrams and flowcharts I use Dia. You can find it in the Trisquel repositories. In Dia, you need to put objects and connect them, so I imagine that is not exactly what you are looking for.
