Ask HN: What happened to Visual Thought?

I was looking around for a good graph drawing program recently and I realized that there still doesn't seem to be anything as slick, easy-to-use, and cross-platform as Confluent's old Visual Thought from the early 2000s.

I understand the company went under, but how could that happen? Visual Thought had a lot of fans even back then. Surely they could have just supported it profitably as a crisp, well-designed, cross-platform diagramming tool that emphasized ease-of-use and graph-drawing.
