"Excellent FlowChart Designer!"
Pros: This is able to create v neat flowcharts with ease and without help. Easily exported to many formats although I wished it can be transferred straight to Word or Powerpoint. But no complaints, this is indeed a great new software!

Version: Diagram Designer 1.21
Pros: Very simple and clean user interface. Ability to drag symbols on to your drawing. Template palettes including one for electronic symbols. I spent many weeks trying various schematic capture programs which I rejected because they were either awkward to use, overpriced or bloated with too many features which I didn't need, but Diagram Designer is exactly what I do need. I recommend it very highly and although its free, I would encourage satisfied users to send the author a donation. I have no affiliation with the author; I'm just a satisfied user.
Cons: Only one minor gripe: You have to load your preferred template palette each time you start the program, but I'm sure this is something which could be addressed in a later release of the program.

"Very Intuitive and Easy to Use"
Pros: The developer really understands how users think. Little touches like, when you're dragging the arrow end to link it to a polygon, the color of the linkage point changes from red to green when you're locked in, etc. Nice, subtle, intuitive visual feedback like that is a very nice touch. I was able to produce a simple flowchart and export it to metafile with absolutely no help, no need to read a single help screen. Remarkable intuition in this program. Very well done, and amazing that it's free.
Cons: Minor things: 1) No MRU file list. 2) No ability to center the entire flowchart on the page. 3) Changing page size can only be done by manually entering width and height values--should allow me to drag the page edges to resize.
