I agree with both of you, but I still don't want to use Python to generate my diagrams.

Diagrams are a visual thing. I prefer a visual designer. I can send that to some random nontechnical person for a presentation and they can edit them, etc.

I find with things like this, it works pretty well until you want to do something off the beaten path, then it's a pain where you're trying to figure out how to get it to render like you want it to.

Reminds me of the ole "just move it 2px to the right" in the CSS of yesteryear
