      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, because it's awesome. Flowchart Maker & Online Diagram Software[^] when I'm on a machine that doesn't have Visio.

        Besides paper and pencil, DIA is the only thing that works for me. Wondering why I'm not seeing a mention of 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 use open-source Graphviz[^]. This is one of the applications I could hardly get rid of.

                  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.
