It is very popular and has a relatively simple syntax. PlantUML is ideal for small to medium-sized graphics. Unfortunately, the documentation is incomplete in some places, which means that you don't learn about many of the great features.

Simple, but for being simple quite powerful. For example in confluence.

Automated diagram rendering is a life-changer.
Since it converts text to an image, the text can be tracked for changes across time (ie, git). Also frees one self from arranging all pieces of a diagram, or assuring that lines point to where they should be pointing, since it is arranged automatically. The default visuals are little bit ugly, tough.
