> Concrete diagramming models are domain-agnostic; they are used to diagram any type of system. They can be used with any diagramming tool; however, for best results, model-based diagramming tools are recommended over generic drag-and-drop tools.
Making a statement on the superiority of model based diagrams vs. ad-hoc diagrams without any backing rationale? Adoption of such tools over the past decades outside of niches tell a different story.
Hi, author here. The article isn't about model-based vs. ad-hoc (at least, that wasn't my intent). Ad-hoc diagramming obviously has its (rightful) place. Whiteboards wouldn't be ubiquitous in offices otherwise :)
