Used Gliffy once or twice. Visio a few times when available. But I always come back to PowerPoint. I don't usually diagram anything too crazy. I will be honest i have used PowerPoint for everyhing from mockups, to rough floorplanning and blueprinting. So I'm a little bias. Maybe if I had any real skills at diagrams I would use more appropriate tools.

I have been using Visio for software architecture drawings. Not really a flowchart drawing tool per se, but Think & Do was a PC-based industrial control package that used flowcharts to document a machine's control logic. A medium sized project would contain 100+ flowchart. The flowcharts were compiled into a byte code stream that the run-time component would evaluate in real time. Scan times for a medium sized project was 2-3 msec. I worked for Think & Do Software in the early 00's and am working to port the Visual 6.0 C++ solution to VS2019 C# so it will run on 64-bit Win-10. Visio and Excel have been helpful in documenting how the old C++ code worked

I used a DOS Based Product called EasyFlow [^](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive\_EasyFlow) . I have to say it had the SIMPLEST/FASTEST user interface. Basically, the first letter of the SHAPE (B=Box, D=Diamond). I believe the Arrow (or Ctrl-Arrow) keys created a line out of that side, and you were prompted for a new symbol. You could pound out a template without text in it in under a minute. Then go back and fill in the text. Keeping in mind that we typically were replicating existing diagrams, or entering the ones we had drawn by hand... Loved it.

Visio for many years. Then I found this online remake. Recently thanks to Confluence used more the plug-ins as Graphvis and PlantUml. X-mind (mentioned by someone) mainly for brainstorming and idea development.

I like the integration with google drive. Simple click to open from google drive. New company Microsoft/office based, does not stop using draw.io, can easily save from Draw to onedrive/sharepoint, but if in onedrive, and see some .drawio file, no simple click to open.

I like to use Graphviz as well. Though more for displaying my charts for others. I tend to create my actual flows as text, then put them into Dot files. Yea. I know. I'm a little odd. I am so far the only person I know that does it that way. I always structured things as text long before I was ever introduced to flow charts. Going all the way back to my grade school days, my teachers hated seeing what my rough drafts of reports looked like. Money makes the world go round ... but documentation moves the money.
