      For flowcharts, just Visio. For other SW related diagrams (ie: UML) I use Enterprise Architect

            I've tried a few, unhappy with all, least unhappy with Visio. SImply because it's powerful beyond one specific idea of flowcharts, and has a "microsofty feel" - not exactly the way I'd want it, but fairly easy to use.

            Don't attribute to stupidity what can be equally well explained by buerocracy.

                    Either Visio or EDGE Diagrammer (from a company called Pacestar Software). Both work well enough; Visio has way more features but is expensive if you're not an MSDN subscriber; EDGE is cheaper and produces far smaller file sizes, but it only does flowcharts. We've been happy with both products.

                            I don't use flowcharts - I use UML sequence diagrams instead. We use ARTiSAN Studio[^] for SysML/UML modelling, which is pretty much the best UML tool I've used.

                              Visio mostly, but be patient the learning curve is an interesting one... Once you've gotten used to (and have submitted) to Visio's quirks it works quite well (try to learn the work arounds a quick as possible). Most irritating thing about visio is finding the right stencil, and with the wrong stencil things go really bad (things are hidden and if you find them they behave weirdly on the wrong stencil) Used Enterprise Architect as well, very nice UML tool

                                  Why? Flow charts are pretty much only useful to the person that created them, and that's even suspect. The problem is keeping everything at the same level while still trying to keep it on the page - and without criss-crossing (nearly impossible). Discourage their use by anyone around you, and your life will be soooooo much better!

                                        I also have used MS Visio product years ago. Flowcharts actually helps to see the bird view on the process that is going to be automated.

                                          +1 Whiteboard. Then digital camera pic. If I need to include it in my documentation, then I will redraw in Visio, but only for pieces that ABSOLUTELY NEED to be modeled to be understood. Flowcharts are useful in some scenarios, never for all.
