The standalone drawing editor may be really significant. It fills a gap that isn't really met very well in the MS Office suite - a lot of people use PowerPoint for these kinds of drawings, flowcharts, and posters, but it really isn't ideal.
- tuxychandru 17y agoOpenoffice.org Draw has been providing this as long as I have been using it. However, Google making available online is very handy indeed.
- snprbob86 17y agoYou are forgetting Visio.
- whatusername 17y agoWhich isn't part of office. (At least - it's not part of the version of Office that most people have)
- elblanco 17y agoPowerpoint is a rather amazing diagramming tool, if only you could make the page sizes larger. Visio is the fallback, but I find working with it feels clumsy compared to Powerpoint.
- masterj 17y agoI've seen many people print out 60" science presentation posters drawn in Powerpoint. Not that I'm endorsing doing such, only that it's possible and common practice.
- caryme 17y agoI've been instructed to do so in engineering classes. It feels weird.
- elblanco 17y agoI think that just like Excel escaped the boundaries of what it was intended for, Powerpoint is doing the same. You'd be surprised at how many enterprise architectures are captured almost in their entirety in Powerpoint.
