I am currently trying to choose a product for making UI prototypes. So far I've found these : Balsamiq, FlairBuilder, Moqups, JustInMind, Axure RP. So I was wonderng if anyone had any experience with them or other ones?

#2I used Visio for the longest time. This year though, I began using balsamiq (http://www.balsamiq.com/) and I am extremely happy with it.
I have also seen Jetstrap (https://www.jetstrap.com/) and it looks very cool but haven't tried it myself.
[EDIT] Fixed Typo.

#7Totally recommend https://www.draw.io if you're on Google Apps. Syncs with Drive, has a ton of cool elements, and all elements are super customizable if you know a little code. Also the developer is very responsive -- I've submitted bugs and feature requests and they've gotten back to me right away.
