I used to generate most of my diagrams in PlantUML[0], but recently found that my not-taking app, Joplin[1], has Mermaid built in.
PlantUML has the benefit that you can include it in your builds, e.g. parse any .plantuml files in `make doc` or in your CI.
But I like Mermaid more: its easier to read, less quirky and easily integratable in the markdown (or note-taking apps) without the need for extra build steps.

That's how I recently found that Mermaid can't handle graphs with no flow https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/issues/1227 https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/issues/1227 [1] https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/ba97866b-889f-4ac6-86e7-bb2d97f6e376/ https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/ba97866b-889f-4ac6-86e7-bb2d97...
