I find flow charting quite helpful when writing code. For about 10 years, I have used a free version of Lucid Chart and have recommended it many times. It did everything needed and was intuitive. Before I found Lucid Chart, I used PowerPoint. That change was so refreshing that I never went nor want to go back.
Although there is still has a free version, Lucid Chart has gone to a subscription model. I tried to use it twice in the past few weeks. It is so tarted up as to be unusable. Maybe the subscriptions are better, but for twice a year or less use, the subscription cost is prohibitive. One problem with current Lucid Chart is it seems to have gone more toward management and has added all sorts of colorful cute things to make presentations more enjoyable.
Can anyone recommend a free or low cost (<$100) version of flow-charting software suitable for simple programming?
