Yes - LibreOffice Draw. Microsoft has made quite a mess of Visio and Draw is much, much easier to use. My organization is an MS Office shop but that really just means we use Word, Excel, and Power Point. Us techies? We use LibreOffice Draw.

Now that GDocs has become more popular and so people more and more are distributing presentations as PDFs I've also seen more people starting to use Impress. It's usage isn't widespread, but it's trending up.

Word and Excel? I don't see their dominance fading in my organization anytime in the foreseeable future.

I have switched almost fully to diagrams.net, using a local version. I found it much more practical than Draw.

That's Draw.io, for those that haven't heard of their new name, and I definitely agree that it's brilliant piece of software. Pretty much the one and only web-based productivity software I enjoy using.

Web-based? It's also available in VS Code as a plugin. Integrated workflow at its finest, IMO.

Well yes, and what is VSCode but a web app, hosted locally? :)

I was thinking about the online version when I wrote my comment, as that is what I usually use. My point is that even the browser version is basically perfect, which is rare to see in web apps (including "electronized" ones).
