Hey everyone! I'm trying to find some decent software that can help me create data flow diagrams easily. I've tried a few but they either feel clunky or too complicated. What do you guys recommend? Any tips or favorite tools?

Draw.io is free and surprisingly powerful for making data flow diagrams. Not as flashy but does the job well.
I tried SmartDraw recently, pretty intuitive interface and lots of diagram choices. Worth checking out for sure.
I just use simple PowerPoint shapes sometimes for quick diagrams, nothing fancy but good enough for quick sharing.
Pencil Project is an open-source option if you wanna avoid online tools. Not as polished but gets the job done for flow diagrams.
Anyone tried any AI based tools for this? Heard some can auto-generate diagrams from text or code descriptions.
I usually go with Lucidchart for stuff like this. It's pretty user-friendly and has a lot of templates that save time.
I've been using Microsoft Visio for years now, it's kinda the classic choice but pricey. Worth it if you do lots of diagrams.
