I love excalidraw, but I have to agree. It also looks very unprofessional so if you ever have to write customer-facing diagrams, you have tool fragmentation. I just stick to draw.io now (aka diagrams.net)
replyWhy does it cause tool fragmentation? You can change the font to a normal sans-serif font or to a monospaced font.
replyPersonally I like the default font. It looks weird to have my crappy doodles next to a normal computer font. The default one is very legible but has a style (and ligatures) that make it feel not too neat
Whiteboard handwriting is childish?
replyIt's not on a whiteboard, nor was it written by hand. It's a computer font.
replyThe Excalidraw website describes itself as: Excalidraw is a virtual collaborative whiteboard tool that lets you easily sketch diagrams that have a hand-drawn feel to them.
replyAnd the GitHub repo says: An open source virtual hand-drawn style whiteboard. Collaborative and end-to-end encrypted.
It's the intended design...

replyCool. I have stated the facts of the product.
replyIt just looks weird not childish.
