What's not implemented:

Please contribute to working on this list!

• Shape text:
  • Currently only centered in the shape.
  • Boundaries can be easily exceeded.
  • No justification.
  • Single line only - no auto-wrap.
• Scrollbars for canvas - currently you drag the canvas to move it.
• Zoom.
• Shape rotation.
• Custom defined connection points.
  • Including on connectors.
• Adjust custom connection points intelligently when shape is resized.
• True dynamic connectors.
• Other line caps besides an arrow and diamond.
• Ruler margins / page boundaries.
• Snap shapes to centers and edges.
• Printing (more or less easily implemented, actually) If you want to print, save the diagram as a PNG and use some other tool!
• True drag-from-toolbox-onto-surface.
• Undo/redo. That'll be fun!
• Better property UX - PropertyGrid's are ok for developers, they are awful for users.
