Lucidcharts has promise but their subscription model isn't working out for business use in large organisations.
Lucidchart seems to target large accounts but their business model seems tuned for small businesses.
Companies wants to centralize licensing and not add yet another vendor. Since you can't subscribe through normal licensing channels, the tool isn't widely adopted.
For personal use, I can't justify the subscription cost and I tend to avoid subscriptions for anything for better budget management.
Or they embed Libre Office directly in order to convert visio to svg.
So far there seems to be no documentation at all about the binary Visio file format and that library is the only thing out there!

Or it has a simpler Visio API which allows other applications to use Lucidchart as a Visio viewer.

What is not working for companies today is the $250 - $1000 price tag for each license of Microsoft Visio.

We reverse engineered the binary format!
