Chose draw.io
I used Visio on other occasions, and it worked fine, but it was also relatively expensive. I switched over to draw.io because it did all I needed to do but was free. I'm sure there are other programs like it, but draw.io was the first one that I came across, and I liked it, so …
Chose draw.io
draw.io blows all other options out of the water. With the price being free, the amount of icons/templates it has, etc. - it's better than anything else that is out there!
Chose draw.io
Both of them are pretty good on the same level, but draw.io felt more fluid to use than LucidChart. Lucid had a clunky interface for our taste, and Draw.io has a better user experience with respect to usability. It's a pretty compelling reason for us to switch to Draw.io from …

I found draw.io right when I was getting tired of using Visio. It has lots of freedom and flexibility.
Chose draw.io
I found the DRAW.IO to be more efficient and easy to use. It allows me to make quick edits and diagrams as my job requires. Competitor software is good too, however, for me, it was more complicated. Its a diagram, there is no need for it to be too complicated.
Chose draw.io
I find Draw.io to be a happy medium between the options available. It doesn't quite offer the flexibility and power of XMind or Visio, but it lives in the cloud and doesn't require software installations or similar hassles. The main contenders in my mind ended up being …

Usability
No answers on this topic
The UI is intuitive. It allows a new user to start diagramming almost instantly. Manipulating elements, linking them together, etc. are all easy to do. Draw.io nevertheless a broad variety of diagram templates to help get started and also of shapes to use in diagrams. Some situations can make it a bit tricky to use, such as when having multiple shapes on top of each other (e.g. shapes placed within swimlanes) but that's a minor issue.

The support for draw.io is pretty decent, considering it is a free website. I had a question one time when I was trying to do something, so I sent an email to their support email and got a response fairly quickly with an answer to my question. They also have some excellent support tools on their support website for helping you get more familiar with their program, and I found that very helpful.

draw.io is actually free of cost, while Miro, Visio, and Whimsical are paid or come with paid premium versions. Miro does have excellent collaboration, while Visio and Whimsical are simply basic and normal. draw.io has very limited ways to collaborate. Templates are more organized in other tools, but in draw.io they're hard to discover. One advantage draw.io has over these tools is the offline access support as well as the feature-rich UI.
