I’m of the opposite predilection. I want to be able to manage my architectural diagrams in code review. I like having a tool where I can edit it in one pane and have the diagram be a live preview beside it. Ideally the wiki tool would be able to render it.
GUI tools I find aren’t as good for iteration/living in source control/embedding in a wiki nicely. “As code” ecosystem is very immature - automatic live preview is frequently non-existent, resulting diagrams are ugly and hard to layout.
PlantUML is great but suffers from having a very difficult to customize layout, finicky styling, ugly default style, and a bit of a mess of a language that’s evolved organically.
