Love the interface and the fact that it's written in Clojure but it's worth mentioning Whimsical is $10/month vs. draw.io being free forever, and the Whimsical limited intro version is crippled in some quite annoying ways.

Just checked it out - it's incredibly stringent. It doesn't adjust your "free board" limit even if you delete a board. Create a board, delete it just to try out the interface? One of your free boards is gone forever.
Love the interface, hate the free plan.

You can restore your deleted board, manually remove all content and reuse it — but that’s them making it intentionally more painful than necessary.
So, draw.io it is.

Pretty sure they know what they are doing with pricing (and "charge more" mantra and all that) but I wonder if there will be more people paying if the prices were lower. With cheap storage and serverless compute one would think pricing could be better.
PS: The UX is great and the diagrams are beautiful but I don't use it enough to pay THAT much. It's totally OK though, I'm probably not in the target market.

I’d probably make 10-20 diagrams in the next two years. That’s $20 to $10 per diagram and then more if I want to keep them on their platform.
$200 per two year period for mostly client-side diagram software doesn’t sound like a deal to me.

To any business, $10 / month is literally nothing. If you pay $10 / month as a person, then I can see why it matters, but to a business that amount is nothing.
