Why use Inkscape for this, when Dia¹ is a more dedicated diagram editor?

Last release was 2014. I remember liking dia, but I forget...it either crashed or didnt have all the aws icons I wanted when I used it last 5 years ago, and there hasn't been a release since.

That person’s entire criticism of Dia is “it’s old”. That’s it; not even “the program, when I run it, looks old”! They merely criticize the web page for having old screenshots and support for old operating systems on it.
It’s last update was ten years or more ago, doesn’t support HiDPI screens, shall I go on?
Feel free; the link you provided certainly did not have anything concrete.
