For design documentation where detail is required - MS Word with some colour where required. Never saw the point in using visio or any other graphic packages.

A technical audience doesn't need a graphical representation of an object looks like. If they don't know what the object looks like they have problems. Virtual objects being represented by physical counterparts can be confusing and pointless.

Graphics are only useful for presentations and sales - it may save time in explaining what the objects are.
