Hello, This is not really a formal proposal - its far too wild and crazy for that. I have been struggling with visio (who doesn't ?) and find dia much easier to use. However, even dia has some serious usability problems when compared to a tool I have used before: Edge Diagrammer from PaceStar. See http://www.pacestar.com/edge/index.html. It is proprietary and what's worse it is also Windoze-only with absolutely no plans to change (I know, I've asked). But from a usability point of view I think it is brilliant.
This is a plea to dia developers: please look at Edge Diagrammer (there is a downloadable demo version free of charge) to see how the user interface to dia may be improved. I am very interested in any feedback. In particular, look at the way connectors work when diagram elements are moved around. I realise that changing dia to give it an Edge Diagrammer interface would most likely be a rewrite so that might rule it out, but still, please take a look.
