Comments on OmniGraffle in 2021

“While this is Apple only, and dear, it so far is the best tool I’ve found to make diagrams. It’s got more capability than I need, but it also works the way I think, so…all told it’s still the winner.” Clark Quinn, Author and Consultant, USA

Previous comments

“Pretty much allows me to do anything needed for diagram design/layout. Fantastic support and continuous improvement are key to continued use.” One of the lead developers for ISO 10303, USA, 2020

“Besides writing, two ways I sort out my understandings are to diagram and to outline. I use OmniGraffle as a general purpose diagramming tool because, well, it largely works the way I want to think about it. Diagrams, mind maps, even recently as sort of posterboard. And I use OmniOutlinerto do, well, outlines. Another way to map out structures. I’d use a less costly tool, but…the columns feature is really helpful for annotation. Both, unfortunately, are Mac only (and sadly quite dear).” Clark Quinn, USA, 2020
