I agree that layout auto-adjustments in flowcharts can be problematic, especially when subgraphs represent architectural subsystems as they are not really flowcharts. :)

I'm developing a new Mermaid diagram type for more layout control, with precise block placement.

Cool! I'm still on the plantuml train, but I like how much easier mermaid is to integrate with (no need for java), so I'm happy to see it evolve!
