Here's a nice symbiosis, which I offer up as a tip:

In trying to make a Diagram! (showing an angular momentum coupling scheme)
I found it necessary to use as labels text objects which were heavily laden 
with mathematics.  For example, subscripts in Greek, "twiddle" marks over
characters, etc.  I found it very convenient to use EquationBuilder to make
up these labels, one at a time, and use the "Copy As EPS" menu item to
put a label into the pasteboard.  Then clicking and pasting in the Diagram!
app, it only involved moving the label to its final position and, perhaps, 
re-sizing (if necessary).  [I chose to make all my labels the same point
size, so set that size in the EqB font panel.]  You don't even need to go 
through the expense of saving things in files.
