I used that packaged version and liked it so much that I upgraded to OmniGraffle Pro 4. The use of inspectors takes a little bit getting used to, but this seems to be the OS X way; all apps use inspectors. I am not planning to upgrade to 5 unless they either lower the price, or increase the feature-set. Too bad, because the 'mini-inspector' seems like a nice addition (a step away from inspectors). Pretty much the same thing as the 'Format Bar' added in the recent iWork '08. Peter, I thought, packaged with Tiger was OmniGraffle 4 as well?

The OmniGraffle bundled with OS X Tiger was a really great app; intuitive and easy to use. Version 4 was barely useable. Version 5 completely unusable. Alas I have tried OmniGraffle 5.
