From an aesthetic point, it is okay, and I like that it includes logos for almost every service imaginable. From an editing perspective, it is a mess. For example:
- you can select a rectangle object that has a transparent middle by clicking in the empty space
- you cannot option/alt + drag to copy an item or group of items
- "refactoring" is not easy because even when items are grouped you cannot move them as a group
- arrows sometimes don't update their endpoints, even when they have been connected to an item
- slow performance in the browser, especially for larger diagrams.
- saving is slow and versioning is even slower
These are just a few I thought of off the top of my head. These papercuts on their own are annoyances, but together makes it feel like the software is using me and not the other way around.
- theK 6y agoI like that you bring up refactoring. The biggest pain I have experienced with IT drawings is maintenance. If you are using a GUI these things are usually hard to maintain/refactor. As a matter of fact, I have experienced whole organizations just switching to graphviz, plant or other text based diagram tools just because of that!
