I've tried asciiflow a few times and monodraw seems so appealing in contrast. But: Mac-only.

I very like it, it's simple but powerful!

Can you elaborate more about "text art"? I just recently purchased monodraw, after seeing it linked from Brandur's blog([1]), but have only done basic diagrams with it.

I meant text diagrams. Not art in the true stylistic sense.

Brandur's blog was an inspiration for me as well !

monodraw is cool until you actually try making anything more than a simple diagram. It becomes tedious to manage all the different elements you create. Also, the developer hasn't updated the application in over a year and doesn't respond to customer messages.

If you want ascii-style diagrams there are a few free web apps which work 100% better than monodraw.
