I used xfig back in the day, but it always felt more like the tool I had than the one I wanted. It’s been a long while since I tried inkscape - I remember it more as a took for artists than for technical drawings.

These days my go to tool for technical diagrams is draw.io (aka diagrams.net). I tend to use the standalone version but appreciate that it’s available online with low friction and as a confluence plugin. Perhaps my favorite part is that you can create png files that are viewable anywhere but are also editable due to the source file being embedded in the png.
