It looks like it can do diagrams too, I've never used it though. Another alternative would be Microsoft Visio. Or you can just make them in Excel with colored cells and borders around cell groups.
I do as much as I can with pic, either with groff or TeX. When I want things to be really fancy I use Inkscape. Pic is always more productive because it's constraint-based and automatically adjusts to changes. Unfortunately, it is just an imitation of the old Unix pic with all the limitations of the original which ran on 1970's era minicomputers. It is time for someone to do a modern declarative constraint-based diagramming program, but I already have far too many backburner projects - hell, I have too many frontburner projects! Although not as smart as pic, Inkscape is pretty wonderful.
