When was the last time you looked at Visio?

Microsoft has greatly enhanced Visio since they aquired this product, as well as the services of Dr. Terry Halpin (InfoModeler), the leading advocate of ORM.

ERWin is a fine tool. Someone should evaluate all of the leading tools to compare them for their own needs. I usually end up using more than one tool to take advantage of their individual strengths.
