I'm sure this will be a for pay upgrade when it comes out, it has a lot more power than my version 4 pro does. Especially nice is that I have been able to open every Visio file my day job has sent me that version 4 couldn't open. Very nice!

Either I haven't used OmniGraffle enough or this upgrade is a significant improvement. It has OmniGroup's amazing attention to detail and the ability to import Visio diagrams makes this a "must have" app for any software designer.
Definitely worth downloading the beta and taking it for a spin.
