I love the idea of mermaid but the syntax is somewhat convolutes and the integrations in tools like GitLab are very unstable.

I don't know why, but I find the syntax pretty decent when you get used to it. It's declarative.

That's more of a takedown of whoever built the Gitlab tool than Mermaid itself.

In the world where LLM's are very good at mermaid diagrams is the syntax even that terribly important?

What a terrible take
