I've always wanted to be able to make neat diagrams, as my handwriting is untidy and my straight lines are never quite.
So I've played with all number of drawing applications from MacDraw (back in the days when 1984 was a recent memory) to various versions of Illustrator, but we never got on. I've even tried Visio and a host of other pay for and shareware applications, offered to me, in my various guises over the years.
Well, now I am smitten, version 2 of OmniGraffle is quite nice, but version 3 is love at first sight. Those glows, the smoothness of things; the clever guides, the alignment tools that understand you and that feeling of power, I can make diagrams.
I strongly urge you all to go and pay Omni Group the 25 dollars to upgrade that free bundled copy of OmniGraffle you got with your PowerBook. The full retail isn't even that much, at only 70 dollars. If you need further justification, both Macworld and MacUser have given it a prize. If you have never tried it, then download a copy and get a trial license, now.
I'm off to try OmniOutliner, to see if it has the same effect on sorting out my life…
