There is also Qcad. It should not have the net problems that gschem 
would have (like unsightly connection dots where you don't want them). 
There may even be a flowchart library available somewhere. I have 
started using Qcad 3.21.3.7 lately to replace the buggy LibreCad 2.1.3 
(2.2.0_rc1 is even worse). I find Qcad is much more intuitive in its 
commands than LibreCad. Qcad is much more stable than LibreCad at this 
time. No, I am not connected with Qcad in any way. Just a user.
