    I tried most of these declarative diagrams, while they work to some degree, the best outcome I had was with drawio but you should have the skill installed.

      Depends on your use case. If i want to export some graph data structure from a program to visualise it for debugging purposes, graphviz is way more relevant than doing it by hand in drawio.

      But if I'm making a presentation for a conference I would choose differently. And in between you get a whole spectrum of tradeoffs.
