the only diagram type actually like is old school data flow diagrams (DFD) :-) sequence diagrams and state machines are IMHO redundant and made only to please managers that "we are doing something". DFD's are not sensitive to code changes and provide actually useful map how data moves within a system.

I use #Lucidchart for these because UML style used by #drawio is the crappy and convoluted UML version, and with #yEd you have to go too great lengths for a trivial task: https://yed.yworks.com/support/qa/2054/is-a-data-flow-diagram-palette-available

It is sad how weak the support is for this diagram type among the tools, given that it is the most useful of them all...

Edit: actually draw.io also has old school versions in the palette so I was wrong. I might use that in the future :-)
