Ask HN: What diagrams do you use in software development?
Flow chart, sequence and class diagrams are the ones I use the most in my current job.
In source, I generally use Mermaid[1] as its syntax is easily maintainable and understandable. As our documentation (mdBook) is written in markdown and can render Mermaid via a plugin[2].
When drawing quick diagrams during online communications, I use Excalidraw[3] as it's easy to use and has a nice whiteboard style to it. When I'm with my team (pre-covid), whiteboard or paper did the trick.

Monodraw
For anyone who is willing to use a webapp, I like drawio[0]. You can download locally[1] and self host (I just use the python webserver).
While finding the Github, I see they now actually package an Electron application, so that is probably worth exploring[2].

What is your favorite tool for designing complex architecture, and why is it MS Paint?
You can also get it for desktop. It's the same web app but I like to have it installed.

Open-source drawing tool – Excalidraw
I like excalidraw for live discussions but if I want to make more detailed or better looking diagrams, I really enjoy these two tools:
- For drag-and-drop/WYSIWYG, I really like DrawIO. They have a web version https://app.diagrams.net/ but I strongly recommend the desktop version https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases/
- For text-as-diagram, I think Mermaid wins this by default since GitHub added markdown support for these: https://mermaid.live/ (This was github's announcement https://github.blog/2022-02-14-include-diagrams-markdown-fil... )

Protip: get draw.io if you want to edit that file. Or just use the online https://www.drawio.com/ (previously diagram.net?)

Writing software with seamless diagramming?
LibreOffice Writer with Drawio-desktop (and Inkscape if it needs complex editing), if LibreOffice Writer is not enough you can try Scribus.

The struggle is real. What free software exists for control circuit diagrams?
Perhaps diagrams.net (click 'more shapes' to add the electrical symbols). There is also yEd. It has logic gates, but I don't know if it has electrical components. Of course KiCAD is specifically designed for circuits, but that might not fit your application.
