I’d say for the majority use-case (as I see it), they’re excellent for manual diagram curation. Especially, D2 for software arch diagrams. Mermaid is great at many things.
It’s kind of hard to write up a fair comparison - it’s apples to oranges.
I can say that vizdom performs very fast hierarchical layouts (currently the only supported type). Example 14 in the live editor runs in about 1 second on my M1 Mac - but if you refresh the page it CloudFront will complain since the graph state is all in the URL and it’s too long.
