This fills a gap between md/mermaid (easily editable text with no way to do layout) and svg/excalidraw (uneditable text with easily editable custom layouts). I’m not sure people are actually willing to fiddle with that language though without proper wysiwyg tools, at which point you might as well be using svg.
Mermaid also connects boxes automatically. My point was WYSIWYG tools make working with svg just as effortless. The automatic connections are fine, it’s all the manual fiddling that ends up making the markup almost unreadable.
