I agree that Mermaid is kind of a bad language. I get the impression it was the creator's first real DSL project and this has lead to the jumbled syntax. I've found D2 better. There's more control over the layout, the syntax makes more sense. But the web editor is limited. Maybe what I should do is prototype some kind of bidirectional editing for Mermaid. So that you could add / remove / combine / group / reorient the graph items through a GUI. I have some ideas for how to do this
