Have you tried Dia?  Maybe also Inkscape (>= 0.43 has connectors.)

But if you really want to graph some serious trees, anything is tedious 
compared to graphviz.  No GUI though, but maybe worth a look if you're 
thinking of getting your 64bits worth.

The great thing about it is that you can generate the dot language 
programmatically.

Maybe you could write it in Latin?

Also, install this one:

So your Latin scripts can start with:

  #!/usr/bin/perligata
