It's why I keep falling back to excalidraw over tools like mermaid with auto-layout. When I need to communicate an idea, often I really need to fuss with layout in order to get my point across, and having the control to drag things around is the only way to get there.
- kyriakos 4y agoProblem with non automated tools is that editing becomes a big issue since you have to reflow big parts of the diagram to make an addition. This is always my biggest issue with any diagram, the fact that they are evolving.
- cush 4y agoOh of course. This is the tradeoff. That said, over time a diagram's value will diminish regardless if you have auto-layout or not, since the codebase will always outpace documentation.
