"Intuitive, powerful, simple program. Does as claimed."
Version: yEd Diagram Editor 3.0.0.5
Pros
Easy to install. Works well. Easy to figure out. Does everything needed. Easily snaps lines to boxes. Aligns easily. Can snap to grid, copy boxes.
Cons
Could use more shapes.
Summary
Price is right and program works well for simple or even somewhat complex Flow Charts. MUCH easier than WORD/Publisher for this task. Well worth the little time it takes to load and run.

"Good product!"
Version: yEd Diagram Editor 3.0.0.5
Pros
Easy-to-use, works like it should. I used it to create an experience map, which I then took into Adobe Illustrator to make look polished. I love the EPS export option for that.
Cons
Help file seemed lacking. I spent a while trying to figure out how to get my labels to do word-wrap inside a shape, which wasn't in the properties bar, but rather, a tool you have to use after you've created all the labels.
Summary
This is a solid product, even more so given it's free nature. Thanks yWorks.

"Needs Java Runtime"
Version: yEd Diagram Editor 3.0.0.5
Pros
Didn't try because I don;t have JRE!
Cons
Assumes that I have a Java Runtime installed! I don't! And people shouldn't assume I do! So why not mention it in the description? System Requirements: Java Runtime Version.Would have saved me a 12 MB download and you a negative feedback!

"In it's infancy"
Version: yEd Diagram Editor 3.0.0.5
Pros
+ HUGE plus, the lines are COMPLETELY manipulatable! It doesn't assume you want the line to go where you don't want it to, you draw it, it goes there!
+ Simple to use, almost too simple.
+ Could be used for a wide range of flowcharting needs.
+ Could get the job done (I might use it to get my CIS assignments done), but very basic.
Cons
- It is VERY VERY basic, it only has (in the UML section) an actor, class, use case task (oval), note, and the lines.
- Activity diagrams would have to be made using its basic shapes and lines, not sure that would really suffice.
- Attributes and Methods (Operations) are basically edited via the VB-esque property of a multi-line text box. Meaning you will have to type the plus or minus to show privacy and the parentheses to show method/operation.
