None of the visual diagramming tools pass muster for me. They are all too fiddly and trying to use them requires a lot of yak-shaving to get the layout acceptable. The diagrams I draw are all done with something like graphviz, plantuml, mermaid, Structurizr, or d2. Very rarely I'll use excalidraw to throw together a one-off.
