It's a superb tool, and the only one I know that's semi-intelligent (i.e., it
knows its drawing flowcharts and adjusts to your movements accordingly.)
However, when I used it 2 years ago it had a terrifying tendancy to hit a
certain obscure limit, crash and corrupt your file. This may have been fixed
by now.
It also wasn't two-way compatible with Word or (so far as I can recall)
anything else.
Also, it ain't cheap.
