I’m always torn on this topic. On the one hand, diagrams are easy to update, track changes, and show in different contexts. On the other, a lot of automated diagrams are unclear because they miss important aspects of layout. I believe you should start manual, and switch to code-based when it becomes painful to keep updating it. That said, I don’t know why I’d do it in a bespoke system, as this article shows. That seems like the worst of both worlds.
