It's always bugged me that large language models are possible, and yet no one can write a locally available tool that can reflow blocks and arrows to achieve aesthetic beauty. Omnigraffle comes close, but there's nothing available on Linux and Windows is still stuck with Visio.
Now I know folks are going to suggest programmable interfaces like GraphViz and Plantuml, but those are not the same thing.
Why can't there be a tool where I just draw the boxes and arrows, and the tool aligns everything to make it look pretty?
I'm biased here, but have you taken a look at yEd [π] (or yEd Live [7] for something that runs in a browser)
In general however, graph drawing is a set of not that trivial problems to solve. There are a handful of layout styles out there that can, depending on the tool, be configured more or less well. But many of them are fairly specific to graphs with a certain structure.
