But text has two problems: end users hate it and people cannot see two pages of model/diagram-as-code vs. a visual diagram.

Not everyone is a developer.

That's like saying code has problems because end users hate it -- end users don't see it.

End users are consumers of the architecture here. Developers, testers, it, manager, customization specialists, customers, auditors,. ..

I think you might've misunderstood. The text generates a visual diagram. Like HTML generates a website. You're not showing customers the text, you show them the diagram. You don't show customers HTML, you show them the site.

Yeah you are right, i messed up. Indeed it is only the architect who will hate it :)
