A decent online diagram creator. One that handles the layout in an automatic way, making it easy to insert new intermediate nodes without dragging everything around manually. Creating a good architecture diagram is currently an exercise in tedium. Many tools don't even snap / route arrows well.
Would be great if it allows data entry via either text or graphical UI. Basically, a modern version of DOT and DOTTY.

Have you seen PlantUML [1]? You create your diagrams in text in their DSL which is fairly intuitive.
There’s a hosted version of the rendering engine here [2] though it’s easy enough to run locally.

Since you mention DOT (the GraphViz format, right?) have you tried viz-js?
