Dia is inspired by the commercial Windows program 'Visio', though more geared towards informal diagrams for casual use. It can be used to draw many different kinds of diagrams. It currently has special objects to help draw entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and many other diagrams. It is also possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of SVG to draw the shape.
It can load and save diagrams to a custom XML format (gzipped by default, to save space), can export diagrams to a number of formats, including EPS, SVG, XFIG, WMF and PNG, and can print diagrams (including ones that span multiple pages).

One of the best OpenSource diagram editor i know, and I tryed a lot of this tools. Its easy and intuitive to handle and the output looks just great. Even create own custom shapes is as easy as drawing diagrams.
This is a good tool - especially in comparison with what else is out there. I do think that diagrams could have been a bit smoother and nicer looking, but who am I to complain - it gets the job done without any serious hustle.
