Others have mentioned generation and speed, but there's a much more important piece, IMO:
Maintainability. With declarative text-based diagramming, you can check these in as text files, and when the system evolves or the diagram has a need to change, it's easy to make a change and re-generate the image.

Once you learn the rules for the type of diagram you're making, it's much simpler than opening up <diagram tool of choice> and trying to shuffle the pieces around to make room for the change, or re-sketching the whole diagram from scratch on a piece of paper.
