- For diagrams, draw.io is a decent alternative
- Similarly for Photoshop users, Photopea might suit them better than GIMP. And there's also Photoshop Express/Online if they really want to stay in the Adobe ecosystem.
- tombert 1y agoDraw.io is my go-to tool on any platform now. I did an entire bachelors and masters using it for all my diagrams. I like OmniGraffle but personally I didn't think it was worth it when draw.io was free anyway. Like I don't feel it was $150-$250 better than draw.io, especially since it's not cross platform.
- tcoff91 1y agoHave you ever tried Excalidraw? It doesn’t have as many features but with the keyboard shortcuts you can whip up diagrams so fast. It’s just so nice to draw in.
- tombert 1y agoWe use Excalidraw at work. I have a friend who uses it for everything. I've played with it, and it seems pretty ok; the only reason I haven't used it much is because draw.io has been good enough, but I really should give it more of a test drive before I draw any conclusions.
- arwhatever 1y agoDraw.io’s development philosophy is just too cool: “doesn’t use artificial scarcity to produce a bloated sales-centric company with matching revenues.” https://www.drawio.com/about https://www.drawio.com/about
- encom 1y agoI just checked and Draw.io is just Electron slop. Disappointing.
- tombert 1y agoWell part of the appeal is that it can be in the browser without installing anything.
- pharos92 1y agoDraw.io all the way. I've operated as a Network Consultant and Architect for the last 3 years using it exclusively. Not only is it great, it's fast and cross-platform. I will never use visio again.
- tcoff91 1y agoIf you just want to draw a simple diagram, Excalidraw is amazing.
