Will C, showed me a webby, programmy kind of thingy for doing diagrams 
(really flowcharts) a couple of months ago called Mermaid 
(https://mermaid.live).  Draw.io looks like it has much more going on so 
it probably wouldn't work for your needs.  I don't like doing diagrams 
either but I'm ok with it at this point since its been infrequent.  I 
completely understand wanting to do it programmatically- dammit Jim, I'm 
an engineer, not an artist.  I find most drawing tools get in the way of 
how my brain works.  For whatever reason, Dia seemed to be the one that 
got in my way the least.  The thing that took me the longest to do with 
Dia was finding the right way to export a drawing so when I pulled it 
into Lyx, it looked good.  Once that was solved I was good.
