I've worked at places where people have exported draw.io as PNG/PDF on internal wikis for diagrams. But what happens when you want to change it? You then have to track down the people who made them, and get access yourself - or find it buried on someone's google drive.

With PlantUML you usually commit your diagram's text syntax to VCS, often close to the code.

As far as usability, we're never going to agree. I find it tedious, compared to writing predictable declarative syntax.




drawio embeds the code in the png, so you just edit it in situ.


Wait, drawio embeds the source and rendered version in the same file? That's great!
