You can’t please them all!

After seeing the diagram you sent, I have the impression that you prefer clean, straight lines and boxes in clear flow, rather than the overstylised approaches offered my mind mappers etc. There’s a multitude of flow/organisational chart software out there, including object oriented drawing packages like Concept Draw and professional analysis software like AllClear.

Interestingly, even in the mind mapping domain, software like Mind Genius offers the possibility to create simpler/clearer diagrams. There seems to be a good reason for it. When I first showed my business partner a mind map created with Mind Genius’s default “organic” curved lines his reaction was similar to yours towards Axon. As soon as I changed the settings to straight fixed-width lines he said “Ah, that looks much nicer; now I can actually understand it”.
