figdraw
A scientific drawing platform launched by Home for Researchers (which also offers many other useful tools besides figdraw)
The platform comes with a large number of materials built-in, allowing you to create very nice article illustrations just by clicking and dragging.

Mermaid is a very useful diagram syntax that can create common diagrams such as flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, etc.
In my opinion, it is more stable than all diagramming tools that rely on “drawing” because its graphics are fully rendered by computers, and you only need to write the content and relationships.
Of course, the trade-off is sacrificing some degree of freedom.

For example, the following content is drawn with Mermaid (the rendering effect of Mermaid on this site is not very good, please use mainstream markdown editors to render)
