Also like Matt mentioned, images can't be easily modified. As time
passes by, that usually results in stale information as people don't go
through the hassle of completely redoing the image to update the
information in it. That makes them fine for shiny one-time
presentations, but inadequate for long-term technical docs.

For those I really prefer to optimize for accuracy than for prettiness,
so ascii art, or blockdiag, or anything we can easily share the source
of, is to be preferred to raw images.
