Simple and complex diagrams can be made in any decent graphics app (Inkscape or Keynote are fantastic) and easily exported to PNG or SVG.
Personally I also have a lot of trouble reading ASCII diagrams. Knowing that pipe-slash-dash is a curved line, when the line is broken and the ends don't line up properly.
On a separate note, I suggest whoever moderated me to zero should read the HN guidelines.
