I want to push back on text not being good for diagrams; this isn’t necessarily true. Consider Markdown. It’s very readable raw and almost any diagram can be represented as a tree, i.e. a list with nested lists.
Single datapoint, but… I love markdown for notes. The formatting shorthands are great, and an automatically-generated Table of Contents is a nice plus.
It hasn’t been easy for me to find anything that offered both flow-chart diagramming and cloud-sync, though. And both markdown and HTML are bafflingly awkward to make tables with (Why can’t somebody just set up a painless csv wrapper? Or if that exists, please tell me?).
Most decent markdown editors are also LaTeX capable, which I probably use even more than diagrams. There’s a bit of a learning-curve for that, but nowadays I can type out most equations without so much as looking at the keyboard (let alone looking up symbols).
Better than nothing but not good for diagrams. Diagrams are extremely useful for thinking.

GitLab’s Markdown supports charts and diagrams.
I find tables in Markdown pretty easy to input, on a computer, because I can format them easily in Vim, my favorite and always-open text editor.
