    Has not been updated since 2014. Was fine at that time, now (2024, ten years after) it's kind of obsolete at least for serious work.

    Draw lets you produce anything from a quick sketch to a complex plan, and gives you the means to communicate with graphics and diagrams. With a maximum page size of 300cm by 300cm, Draw is a an excellent package for producing technical drawings, general posters, and much else.

    LibreOffice Draw is a more fully-featured and customizable application than draw.io in my opinion. The main reason I think it is better, though, is because it is a native application, rather than something that forces you to use it online.

    Does have a lot of graphics, but none of them let you change their content, only the title. For my use this makes it unusable. You cant even insert links or images. If only I could add text on these graphics, I would begin to use this tool.
