dia is extendible too (at least thats how it looks to me).
So, you can compile a plugin module for different object types.
Each object can have a set of attributes. Have a look at the UML
objects, some of these are rather sophisticated. eg create a class
object, and then double click on it. You get to change different
attributes for it, such as "attributes", "operations", and
"templates".
(I just think it is a pity that they haven't done other objects in a
similar way, eg. for flowchart or network objects)
Oh, and for all XML fans out there, dia supports exporting files into
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format, too.
