    I was looking for one of these yesterday and honestly they’re all pretty clunky web browser applets. If I’m replacing a Microsoft Office program I want a fully featured desktop app, not a .io website, yknow?

    Draw.io is pretty good. It has a desktop version you can download as Flatpak. I even use it at work and got the IT dept. to install it by default. They’re saving hundreds a month due to this.

      Wait, has that become open source again in recent releases? I remember it not being for a while, but the repo currently says Apache 2.0? Anyone know more about it?

        I think this quote says enough:

    LibreOffice Draw worked well enough for me. It can even open Visio documents. It doesn’t save to Visio though, so I had to give up on it eventually as the company mandated Visio documents, even though they just end up being inserted into other documents as PNG.

    But the drawing part was solid for me.

    Draw.io my feeling is you you need anything more fancy, you have missed the point of flowcharts and things like it. I have used the basic tools in libre office and word, it just depends on what you need to do.
