@dahukanna@mastodon.social @ehmatthes@fosstodon.org @gvwilson@mastodon.social I have seen more than a few painstakingly created ASCII art diagrams in comments but they're a dying breed. I recognize it's hard to distinguish between preferences and rationalizations for the status quo but when I imagine having a diagram editor in my editor, and dismiss all worries about file format compatibility, I imagine I would not like the necessity of changing from a text centric view of my activity to a visual one, and that I would bristle at the need to become good at this form of representation in addition to all I do already. But there is at least some rationalization there, as I'll happily use a schematic capture program when designing circuits...
