Nice HTML5-based Online Modeling Tool

I was reading up on database design esp. 6NF and came across this website on Anchor Modeling. It has a HTML5-based Online Modeling Tool that looks nice and fun to play with.

Looks nice, but the constant floating around and 'wiggling' really bugged me. It took me quite a while to figure out how to add and remove things.
It also reminded me of an ORM tool which I helped build in college called nORMa. It was a plugin for Visual Studio and was great for designing complex databases.

The fluid movement + ghosting is well done. There are the beginnings of a pleasant interface here.
One issue: I couldn't figure out how to connect two nodes to make loops. Adding and deleting worked just find-- but not connecting existing elements.

There is a bunch of video tutorials on their main site that shows how to create a 'tie'.

But yeah, I was confused in the beginning too.
