Main "killer" features for me are:

- d2 is a standalone executable compiler, I once tried mermaid-cli (mmdc) but couldn't get it to work properly plus anything I need to install with npm scares the hell out of me

- ASCII rendering: I love rendering to ASCII which I can copy-paste around.

But I do use mermaid a lot embedded in other programs (e.g Obisidian). The selection of different diagram types is amazing.

I use d2 in obsidian fwiw
