I had a bit of trouble with it when starting, but now that I have my
"Favorites" shapes all organized, its a breeze.
I don't know how good Visio is for large and complicated flowcharts,
but for simple flowcharts its really good and fast. I stopped using
paper and pensil, because an error causes you to redraw the flowchart
which wastes time.
In addition it has the usual Microsoft look to it and can export/import
in many standard formats.

If you want something like Visio, rather use SmartDraw.
http://www.smartdraw.com
It can do everything that visio can do (Even load/save visio format),
and is a hell of a lot cheaper than Visio. The full version with all
libraries goes for US$99.

Can it be set up to snap symbols and lines to a grid?

Yes,
And the grid is not slightly different every time one reloads the
document after the app had been exited and restarted -- the way
it happens in Visio. You can download a fully functional demo to
evaluate before you buy.
