I agree to some extent, I have tried
lucidcharts, and eventually plan to move to that, though I cannot
do nearly as detailed work in network diagrams as I do in visio
with lucid.
I also have a 1.5yr old issue with lucid that their layer import
methods are broken, which is a big issue for me. I'm a big user
of layers in visios for layering things, usually layer 1, 2, 3
data, addressing, other logical data, etc with that, and it just
sort of pukes them all out when importing any format of visio. I
didn't really try, but I expect their layers are just as broken
exporting to visios as importing from.
Sadly visio is almost a standard for it networking industry, and I
begrudgingly always have to admit, it really is the *best* of it's
kind at doing so for technical doc drawings. I just usually say
Microsoft didn't make/start it, they just acquired them, so it
wasn't totally inept product from the go. I do hate this ribbon
thing having to use office 2013 lately on a customer instance, I
feel like a mcdonalds cashier.

lucidchart was surprisingly good as a
replacement for visio.
but i have to agree with alot of this. and i
think office 365 is getting stable under wine again so it
should be viable in that environment soon if not already.
