Just found a great piece of software : yEd.

It’s the best graph editor I’ve found after about an hour of searching the web. It’s free, it looks amazing, exports to different formats ( some XML-based) and most importantly the usage is straightforward and fun.

I’m trying to create a network of waypoints for NPCs in a 2d game. A pretty basic AI: Lil guys walking around, following paths and doing stuff. There’s a ton of graph editors out there but most of them are very very academic, hard to use and overly complex – I’ve tried a bunch. yEd really sticks out – It feels like a program that should cost a lof ot money but .. it’s free!
