My reply is not an answer to your question, but merely an appreciation that you asked it. I happened to be in the throes of documenting an upcoming network change and was casting about for tools to produce the "before" and "after" diagrams. I used www.gliffy.com, which produced some beautiful diagrams, but I realized that modifying them was often a non-trivial process. Plus, there's a lot of overlap between the two diagrams and I wanted something like code reuse. :-) The dot language (which I'd previously never encountered) was just the ticket! The mere mention of it was all I needed to get started. Recompiling modifications is very quick, and copying items between the two diagram files is simple.
