One main idea that would make your list 3x better: add a code snippet from each one.

This is a really good idea, thanks. Snippet won't be enough to cover the usages though. Most of these tools use varying syntax for different diagrams.

Anyone looking for a specific need can go through the links to find out which one is better.

Go through some of them. It's hard to summarize a tools function in a single snippet. Same goes for screenshots. How would you do that?

98% of people don't have time for that. If a snippet or tiny screenshot can't reveal some of the essence of the language it's probably not very good.
