Are there any good alternatives for Visio/PowerPoint for drawing architectural diagrams. Both Visio and PowerPoint are annoying to use even for some of the simplest tasks. wondering if someone out there has a better suggestion.

Try diagrams.net (previously draw.io). It free and open source, it works natively in any browser and you can save locally or to Google Drive, OneDrive, Github and Gitlab. There's also a Desktop app for Window, macOS and Linux.

I am a developer of diagrams.net.

All of the alternatives I tried sucked! I just used PowerPoint, better than Visio!

---

I use Draw in OpenOffice for Visio alternatives... Seems to work okay.

---

I recently discovered Google Docs Draw. Good for me.

---

gliffy.com for example.

---

I use OmniGraffle for mac, and I enjoy using it. There is also smartdraw for PC. They are both good options for non-professional architectural diagrams. For more professional diagrams, CAD programs tend to have more options.

ARIS Express --> can import Visio 2007 diagrams

LucidChart all the way!

http://www.lucidchart.com

Just try it once. Having used Visio extensively over the years--I can't tell you how satisfying LucidChart is to use.
