+ many settings for shapes and independently for labels + when edges cross there is a setting to display 'bridges' + moving anything will bring up helping lines and snapping to certain alignments + connecting edges and shapes so that they stick together, still enforcing rectangular edges, something I find very difficult with other tools like Inkscape and being able to connect the edges to any point of the shape, not so limited like Dia. + Export formats: SVG, PDF, PNG, graphml (its own format, so that you can edit later), others - Also looking like the diagram you created and looking clean, now like Dia + performance when dragging stuff around, no lags like in many browser apps + far more functionality than things like drawio Sequence diagrams are a bit slow to make with it, because yeD not knowing their semantics and not doing much for you.Īpart from that, it has many features I depend on and that save time:
'How do I teach it to make these halfcircle-circle joints of component diagrams?' The only areas where I had issues with it, that I can remember were: It is _the one_ diagram making tool I go to, when I make any diagrams related to software development. Very surprised to see no one mentioning yeD here.
