There's not a whole lot, I'm afraid. One of the more popular ones is Dia, although for the limited functions it does support, Kivio is slicker. Dia has an odd sense of scale and doesn't support rotated objects. And none of them support adding user-defined properties to graphical objects.
I actually started an open-source project to meet or (better yet) exceed the abilities of Visio (

The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
