Default Omnigraffle

In my quest to migrate to all native OS X apps, I'm now trying to kick Visio in to touch.

I like Visio, and use it a quite lot (everything from ERDs to floorplans), but would be happier with native app to avoid all the tooing and froing between OS X and a Windows VM.

Anyone use Omnigraffle much?

I have an eval version which looks nice and seems to do the job. How good is the Visio import/export in the 'pro' version?

TIA

Clearly nobody has ever heard of it.

Confirms my worst suspicions.

I will move on.

I'm familiar with it, but not with Visio, so I can't answer any of your questions relating to that. But OG itself is very good, IMHO - not that I use it much, as I don't spend much time producing diagrams.

I've used both. Visio is an excellent tool, omnigraffle is a pain the 'arris...

Yes, after playing with OG for a day or two I tend to agree.

It doesn't even come close to Visio.

Oh well!

Ta for the input chaps.
