Draw.io - free and ridicously simple to use
I don't wireframe super often, but I've always found Balsamiq to be productive and effective.
mostly https://pencil.evolus.vn/ and lately online.visual-paradigm
Pencil is pretty good I just started using it a few months ago and am impressed it's an open source project, however it's been 2 years since the last commit...
I use Adobe XD. Compared to Sketch, it doesn't have as many plugins. Compared to Origami, the animation controls are not as fine. Compared to PaintCode, it can only export styles.

However, it's free, plus there are lots of templates out there, plus there are auto animate and integration with other Adobe tools. It's not the best at anything, but is good enough at everything for my needs.

iPad, Notability and Apple Pencil
Balsamiq if I just want to get an idea across (layout, story boarding)

Figma for higher-fidelity discussions (colors, spacing, icons, etc.)
