Why not draw.io/diagrams.net? That used SVG which it embeds in pngs so they always render faithfully, and can be edited online, in the desktop app or directly in VS Code via a plugin.

That has dramatically better support.



Because you can't create PRs against it with readable diffs or code-generate them etc?


Exactly (though a diagramming tool could implement PRs in the future)

What might be cool is a graphical editor that uses Mermaid as a file format.


Trying to create certain types of diagrams (e.g. sequence diagrams) in Draw.io is a huge PITA.
