OmniGraffle is the better Visio.
...except I've not found any good networking/systems stencils for omnigraffle (even on graffletopia). I tried to import the visio ones in 5.0 but that didn't work too well. Someone out there have something for omnigraffle that rivals the visio network stencils?
Depends on the target audience, but for documentation purposes, there is obviously no need for shiny, eyecandy stencils but only for distinguishable figures. Use circles for routers, rectangles for switches and so on. There are enough geometric stencils available.
Or ;)... Unless that you need runtime input, parse your configuration file repository, and build quite nice looking documents using TeX (plus, if you fancy nice graphics, pstricks, metapost, or pgf/TiKz). That's easy with a small few lines of perl (or your parsing language of choice). If you need run-time data, simply script it into the above mentioned "engine." The engineering way of lazily producing "marketing visual quality" documents... IMHO :) Cheers, mh
