Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: yEd Graph Editor is highly praised for its robust features, ease of use, and free availability. Users particularly appreciate its auto-arrange functions, compatibility across platforms, and suitability for complex diagramming and UML modeling. However, there's criticism regarding its macOS integration, aesthetics for client-facing projects, and limited flexibility in customizing diagrams. Some users find its import/export tools less accommodating for existing projects, and highlight issues with default settings and interface nuances.

You can use it, but there are a lot of problems. The default font and font size cannot be set. The arrow styles and layout are the same when editing. The labels cannot be rotated.

Amazing flowsheeting software. Use Inkscape to make custom icons, then save them as a yEd pallet, and the rest is just so easy. Lacking custom anchor points on symbols, and flipping of symbols, but otherwise amazing.

It's a great alternative to Visio and other pricey process mapping software. It does the job for me and has enough import and export options to keep me coming back to it.

Creating, aligning and connecting nodes is very convenient. Node alingment helpers are just awesome.
