John:

I use pic whenever I can in place of the drawing tools available in
Framemaker or xfig (UNIX) or Microsoft Word/Powerpoint. It is ALL too
easy to screw up a carefully drawn illustration in a WYSIWYG with an
unanticipated nudge of the mouse. pic provides extremely precise
placement that is nevertheless quite robust as you modify an
illustration. The language is easy to learn, and gpic provides some very
nice extensions to AT&T pic.
