"Visio resource", I call 'em. When I'm feeling polite.

Ouch. I use Word as well, now that I'm an Architect. Thank you very much.

Actually, a lot of my initial work is still done in vi, and I'm always on the lookout for good software that will let me describe my diagrams in vi and automatically generate the graphics. Does anyone know a good addon to graphviz for creating flowcharts and sequence diagrams?

I use umlgraph: http://www.umlgraph.org/download.html

It's standalone though and not an add-on to graphviz.

Many people use UMLGraph to document and reverse engineer existing Java programs. But the reason I wrote it is exactly as a tool to create UML diagrams using a textual notation. It use as a documentation and reverse-engineering tool came about, because the notation is Java-like.
