That's a backwards mentality. I already use Graphviz, why would I switch? You need to be asking yourself (and convincing everyone else) what Gleek offers that Graphviz does not offer.

Also, in the USA, "gleeking" is a very specific kind of spitting, by projecting saliva from under the tongue. Not what I want to think about when making diagrams.

i understand your point. i was just asking what do you appreciate on the other tool - as i expected you know that tool better than gleek.io diagram maker. we will certainly look closer on graphviz.
Why is the unsanitary name, "gleek", used?

"Like spitting with one's tongue, we make it easy to spit out diagrams" ?
