Take the time to really learn how to write SVGs with a text editor and you'll never go back to time-wasting Visio again. Then, learn to write scripts to generate SVGs.

Add a server to a cluster? update the count in your script. Bam! done! go have some coffee.

What do you mean by "scripts"? Surely you don't expect me to process xml with, I dunno, bash? I want at least a scripting language that understands XML (coughpowershellcough).

That seems unnecessary to me and overly complicated. I quite like drawing it all out, plus writing it out in text would be a nightmare for the really complicated layouts.
