I use this often enough but it's rather tedious and the diagrams don't look very polished unfortunately

They suffer from formatting issues and are generally more trouble than anything to grapple with

It's probably best for sequence diagrams but activity diagrams with swim lanes and things are quite a chore to implement in an aesthetically pleasing way

Skinparam definitions really help to improve the polish. You can even create templates.

The only issue I've really had is controlling the arrow paths.
