I like to program my diagrams, instead of drawing them. Easier to change, and
the code (aka text) is nicer to version than some binary blob.
If I don't need to work on such collaboratively, I'll use graphviz for
the same reasons. But google docs is easier to get other people to
contribute to.

Don't know about google docs - no real version control. Unusable for anything serious, like a multi-author paper or proposal. I always end up sharing Word Documents, with change tracking, via email. Gets ugly with more than a few people.

Right now, the WikiPedia (or more accurately, MediaWiki) model seems to be really effective - what with support for multiple authors, change tracking, discussions, etc. Starts to fall down if you want to manage a structured document or generate printed versions as an output.
