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).

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.
