Arranging a diagram by hand is slow and fiddly. Auto-layout algorithms place the shapes and route the lines for you: if you know which algorithm fits which diagram.
The gap between a slow diagrammer and a fast one is mostly the mouse. Learning a handful of keyboard shortcuts turns fiddly clicking into fluid, almost thoughtless motion.
The lines between boxes carry as much meaning as the boxes themselves. Choosing the right routing style and taming crossings is what separates a clear diagram from a bowl of spaghetti.
A single diagram that keeps growing eventually needs to become several. Multiple pages let one file hold a whole system without any one view collapsing under its own weight.
Layers let one diagram hold several views without becoming a mess. Learning when to reach for them (and when a separate page is better) is a quiet power-user skill.
