While I totally agree with the sentiment, it's hard to produce diagrams using code-to-diagram tools that convey as much meaning and story. I'd welcome anyone to challenge me on this, but the styling options you have for tools like PlantUML, Mermaid, and so on (excluding expensive online-only tools here) are just too limited.

Yeah, you can argue that simple is better (I really loved https://www.simplediagrams.com/), but you still need _some_ ways to produce diagrams people will actually find pleasing. Diagrams to tell a story, with blocks that make sense in terms of looks, colors, and orientation. I want an open-source code-to-diagrams that can output as pretty diagrams as I make with LucidChart!

Totally agree. Plantuml Sparx etc just don't scale on the conceptuality axis. Draw.io and their ilk do.
