I used to make my diagrams in draw.io but I find that I spent way too much time fiddling with the way the diagram looked rather than the thing it was modeling. Also it is a huge pain to have to go back and make revisions to the diagram. After presenting diagrams to stakeholders they would always ask for changes and I would end up having to redraw everything.

I recently stumbled upon code to diagrams tools like app2code and plantuml. I really enjoy this because I can focus on the model and not the aesthetics. Also making revisions to code is a lot easier than fiddling around with draw.io.

Does any one have any tools like this they can recommend?
