Because not everybody has Dia, whereas pretty much anybody can deal with a PDF (or a piece of paper).

“…but less useful if you need to give the diagram to anybody else, either in print or electronic form.”

Why? why is it not that useful in this case?

Recent versions of Dia still don’t support PDF the right way. When exporting to PDF, you get your diagram fit to an A4 paper for example, but the page is not nicely fit to your content, like eps does.

I still have to use the method described above to export my diagrams to PDF.

Right you are ; this blog post was written well over a year ago, and since then DIA has implemented PDF exporting.

Hi,

recent versions of Dia support PDF export. Look for the export format “Cairo Portable Document Format (*.pdf)”
