More than just a silly name, OmniGraffle is a powerful, yet easy to use diagramming and drawing tool. OmniGraffle can help you make amazing graphic documents quickly by keeping lines connected to shapes even when they're moved, providing stencils full of common symbols for you to drag and drop, and magically organizing diagrams with just one click. Create flow charts, org charts, network diagrams, family trees, project processes, office layouts - or anything else that can be represented by symbols and lines.

Opinions:
Agreed! This is some of the best, most intuitive software I've ever used. SO worth the money.
It's definitely the fastest way to create the most beautifull diagrams. Working with OmniGraffle isn't work, it's just playtime!
I don't need it very much, but every time I can use it I love it.
Unique. The single killer hidden productivity tool I have.
I often use it for mocking up application interfaces before taking them into Interface builder. More permanent than diagrams on napkins.
The Omni guys rule!
This came free with my PowerBook, and I love it. It's so easy to make any kind of diagram whatsoever, which makes it the perfect addition to OmniOutliner for taking notes in class... anytime the Prof draws something on the board, I can copy down the drawing in a matter of seconds with OmniGraffle, and simply copy & paste it into my notes in Outliner. Couldn't be easier... and with the little extras like shadows, the diagrams look professional.
This is NOT freeware, but it does ROCK! =D
