'I would not use a forum to measure the usefulness of any software: People simply don't post questions about stuff that works! It's a forum where users are requesting help with their problems not a review board.'

The big majority of the reviewers is quite happy with it.Īnyone whose requirements it meets should definitely use it! You wrote: Instead look at the reviews at this site, e.g. Did you report your specific question/problem to the forum? Actually if you consider that this software is used by literally hundreds of thousands of users, given that there hardly is less than a dozen feature requests or questions which have more than 50 votes, I'd say that most users are actually quite happy with the software.

Instead, it gives you an idea about how many people are using it and about the quality of support they get. Of course all of the questions are about problems and just because there are a lot of questions in a forum doesn't meant that the software doesn't work for the majority of the users. While there are certainly things yEd cannot do well and definitely there's also stuff that Visio does better, I would not use a forum to measure the usefulness of any software: People simply don't post questions about stuff that works! It's a forum where users are requesting help with their problems not a review board. If this SHOULD BE general purpose, the programmer followed and is still following the wrong concept, i think! Making general purpose Schemes and Diagrams is a pain with this software, therefore it comes nowhere near MS Visio Import from Excel to EXISTING graph is NOT possible!!! Just to a new one and copying in the existing When custom nodes imported, ALL nodes have the SAME custom properties. Creating nodes specific data - just by importing from Excel NOT from inside the program Most answers to questions how most people use this software are like:Įven if the asked function would be more logical and useful The bigger the network, the more chaotic the graph, and almost impossible to structurize it with the given tools. It does a good Job when nodes are spread wide over the plane, in a organic layout and so on (just to show how big it is)īut a terrible Job if you try to visualize a sorted and structurized network. Maybe its focus more on Data Science or some other specific purpose.
