Easy to use, demo is limited in spite of statements otherwise.
Pros: Intuitive interface.
Objects obvious.
Labelling is easy to do.
Linking to different documents is easy to do.
Allowed me to quickly diagram a system (20 switches/hubs and 140 plus computers plus 3 servers plus numerous printers) that has no formal documentation in place and scant meaningful data represented in other forms. This will come into my toolkit as soon as the school fronts the money for it.
Cons: In spite of claims that the demo is a full working version with no limitations, there is a limit to the number of hyperlinks you can insert into a document and by reading between the lines of the dialogue box, also on the number of objects embedded in a single document.
Free and unfettered should be free and unfettered, not slyly limited in an area where you don't expect most folks to go
