Ok, I was planning to just cool and wait, but then I read on
the Dia webpages that you're wanting feedback. So, here is my
wishlist, after trying to use Dia for real UML work:
- I absolutely need more connection points to make things look
good, specially on class diagrams. Having 5 instead of 3 in the
top and bottom lines would do.
- It tends to write labels on top of other things, making them
unreadable. I end up having to limit the directions of my
connections to avoid this. The ``right'' thing to do would be
detecting a free spot to draw a label.
- I'm fine with the connections, but a lot of people prefer to
be able to make them run diagonally.
- The ``constraint'' object sucks. You have to create it, then
detach the label and attach it to the correct place (the other
end of the connection line), and then if you need to move it
you're screwed.
- Of course, I'd like it to export (and if possible import) XMI.
I'm sending you my diagrams, if you load them I believe you'll
see what's aesthetically wrong right now.
Oh, just to leave it documented for reference: I'm talking
about 0.83.
