Yeah, I deleted that message because it was not very constructive. Let me continue:
GraphLayout is a nice and useful package which would be a pity to deprecate. Perhaps what is needed is just the courage and enthusiasm to change the interface or delete the less useful or tough to maintain parts? A bit of creative destruction might be an advantage. The package was more or less broken for months because of dependencies. If the output was a flexible set of lines, circles, boxes, text, coordinates perhaps? Graphic interfaces are going to continue to be hard to maintain on the various systems.
