Good (preferably free), easy to use, attractive flowchart software [closed]

While there is no shortage of awesome concept mapping or mindmapping software, I'm left rather cold by the offerings of flowchart related software or apps available.

I'm looking for something that makes standard flowcharts in an attractive manner and autoformats them. Ideally I'd like to be able to easily add the start, end points and boxes without having to drag & drop or try and line things up extra carefully pixel for pixel manually- mind mapping software already does this (by letting you press 'enter' and 'insert' to insert child & sibling nodes), so I would think there should be a reasonable equivalent for flowcharts?

Using Windows 7 here, if that helps any?

Appreciate your time & assistance!

The GraphViz (Graph Visualization Software is able to do this. Take a look at the example gallery and give it a try. The Flowchart is not defined by a GUI, but in the DOT Language, e.g.:

graph G {
  run -- intr;
  intr -- runbl;
  runbl -- run;
  run -- kernel;
  kernel -- zombie;
  kernel -- sleep;
  kernel -- runmem;
  sleep -- swap;
  swap -- runswap;
  runswap -- new;
  runswap -- runmem;
  new -- runmem;
  sleep -- runmem;
}

This feels not comfortable for some users, but the main advantage is that you are independent from the layout!
