Because I draw like a crab :-) Also, I suppose I have become spoiled by Visio's ability to quickly draw, redraw and move shapes easily. It is hardly painful at all to make major changes to a flowchart in Visio. Compare that to Kivio where something as simple as aligning shapes is a big problem. For instance, the Input/Output shape cannot be aligned properly in Kivio because the connection points are in the wrong places. So now you have to make your own points, and somehow make sure everything lines up. In Visio (and in openoffice) this was a simple thing to do since the points are offset in order to make the shape and the lines line up, with each other and with the other shapes. Oh well...
