I'm not sure why I didn't think of Xfig, I've used it a little but not
for flow charts I don't think.  Also Libre Office Draw.  And a
shareware thing called SmartDraw under Windows 20 years ago or so.
But ultimately every flow chart I handed in was drawn (and redrawn) by
hand with my Pentel pencil on letter size printer paper. I'm getting
old enough that I have trouble reading them anymore.

In Xfig when I move a line it doesn't stay attached to the connected
objects, I don't think I've seen it do rubberbanding.  My Xfig in
Rasbian has 30 flowcharting symbols, I'll look into fig2sym.pl

Arrows (mainly up) could be symbols by themselves with connection
handles.  There's a program called Floch posted by a guy in the
Raspberry Pi forums but it's not object oriented at all, the concept
of attachment is beyond it.
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=171127  It's
all just pixels.
