The fastest way to create clean flowcharts and wireframes. Constraints that force good design are a feature, not a bug.

Beautiful output with zero design effort. The auto-layout for flowcharts is magical compared to manual tools.

Intentionally limited scope means it does a few things exceptionally well. Refreshing in a market of bloated tools.
