I didn't know that the connectors automatically draw lines from box to box! For years, I'd been seeking software that could do this. The line-connecting behavior is a bit weird and unpredictable, but it's still fun!

You could also look into draw.io - for most things that people used to use LibreOffice Draw for, this might now be more convenient.

I like draw.io, but the killer feature I want is auto-layout. As soon as a flowchart gets a little complex, things get really fiddly. I wish I could hit 'auto-arrange' and it would do some approximation of a tidy layout.

Oooh, this is promising... I'll check it out, if it's what I hope it is, thank you!

Wait... can LibreOffice Draw do this?! I can't seem to find it if so. If not, do you have any ideas of programs that fan?

I'm not sure on either front- never used LibreOffice Draw. Visio does, but for me, it's not worth it.
