Review:

The is no need to add a me too review, the ones posted are already covering much of the topic, this is why I have chosen a comparison with MS Visio

At least 4 reasons why MS Visio (MSV) is better (much better):

1. MSV offers more shapes, the library is much richer including some geek stuff, like UML, Cisco diagrams...

2. Boolean operations on shapes are easy with MSV, here almost impossible. MSV makes it easy t group/join/intersect... shapes

3. Individual line controls are richer, especially adding points is easy with MSV... In general the control of shapes is much richer.

4. MSV is seamlessly interfaced to other tools, from MS Office of course, but also third parties like Mindjet...

But I'l sure there are many more reasons...

Diagram studio is OK for an occasional drawing of your assistant, but not suited for more sophisticated drawings. It's single selling point is the price...

Conclusion:

I removed my copy right away...
