2 cents, when I saw dia, it seemed rather stark. This was a while ago, but then, I am not an electrical engineer. -e On Fri, 2013-01-04 at 11:40 -0500, Anton Aylward wrote:

not sure if one can use it on opensuse, but have you seen freemind?
Freemind, ad it's more interesting fork, Freeplane, are MIND MAPPERS. They are not generic diagramming tools and don't have libraries of 'components'. They are great tools, for what they do, but doing up network diagrams is not part of that.
I'd still like to hear what the objections the OP's end users have to the output of Dia. Specifics as opposed to a generic "it ain't Microsoft", because we know full well that there are many GUI tools that do on Windows what MS-Office does, OpenOffice and LibreOffice among them. Is this an objection that might apply to other Windows-based diagramming tools?
I ask, because I grew up in England and was used to the way electronic circuit diagrams were drawn in English textbooks, but had problems when I came to North America because different conventions were used (e.g. in the ARRL handbooks). Is it just stylistic? Do the object to the "icons"? What?
