I use OmniGraffle and i love it. Does the new version allow you to use visio templates? I would love to import the ones we have here at work, i know the version i have doesnt know what the file is, but i was hoping maybe the newer versions do.

The Omni Group - Applications - OmniGraffle - Professional (vs the standard) will import the Visio XML schema, not sure if that applies to templates though...

OmniGraffle Professional 4 now uses the recently-opened Visio XML schemas, so there have been many improvements to the Visio XML import/export function, and some of the newer feature sets (such as the Bezier drawing tool) bring OmniGraffle's Visio support to a higher level. Additional, there is now support for exporting to the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format. SVG can display OmniGraffle documents beautifully at any size, whether you're viewing them on the screen of a mobile phone or on a large print banner.
