so think and do I. At the moment I try to consolidate the tools I use
and try to get away with tikz only. I tried to reproduce same diagrams I
created with plantuml. Well, it works. But there are a lot of details in
plantuml's output that you have to do manually with tikz. BTW, I just
discovered that plantuml's pdf output is way different from its LaTeX
output.
