The program that I have been using for awhile is DiagramMaker from
Action Software.  It will do trees in any of four orientations, with any
of three line styles (angled as above, squared off, angle then square)
and two arrow styles.  Best of all it will do them from a text outline,
including one imported from an outliner.  It also allows the box style
to be set before or after the tree is created.

I also use it for drawing arbitrary diagrams that I use for explaining
concepts or designs.
