I think that technically, the GraphViz approach is cleaner. The layout engine is in a separate program, called "dot", which acts purely as a filter. I wish there was an easy-to-extend free piece of software that provides a graphical user interface based on vectorised graphic objects. This software could serve as a front-end to many visualisers, not only for graphs but also e.g. for message sequence charts. One starting point could be JHotDraw (http://www.jhotdraw.org/), but I have the impression that it focusses on interactive editing of graphical diagrams, which is not at all needed in this application.
