Gliffy is an online diagramming tool, in the style of Visio. Obviously it has nowhere near the feature set (and some quite annoying quirks - inability to set defaults, and no distribute option being top if my list) and it's not quite as reactive. But, and it's a big but, it's:
- Free
- Web-based
- Easy to use
So, if like me, you use a number of different computers in different locations and getting things done quickly is sometimes more important than getting them perfect, I heartily recommend you roll on by and check it out.
