What does one use Microsoft Visio for?

[statetech]

I was wondering what Microsoft Visio is used for? I've never used it before and have only seen it a few times. It seems like the current version is 2002. Does anyone know how old is version 6.0?

Curiosity has gotten the better of me

I've used it to draw diagrams. Flow Charts and state diagrams -- stuff like that.
