It looks pretty neat , however i can't really see any usage on it ,its way faster to use a program with a gui where you can draw those diagrams instead of witting ascii ...

Could anyone suggest a good usage of this program ?

Some dinosaurs (such as me) are used to doing diagrams the ASCII way, and just fumble around with GUI tools :)

Also, the diagrams also look pretty nice graphically, better than the output of most GUI-based diagram tools, at least the free ones.

Diagrams in comments stored with code, that get rendered nicely with a presentation style for the code. Useful tool in a literate programming toolbox.
