So my thoughts behind this kind of integrated feature is that it might start encouraging more and more people to often include visual diagrams in their answers. I taught CS long ago and it would have been hopeless without a whiteboard to draw on when a student asked me a question. I recommend looking at it more like, "How many questions could benefit from a visual answer? How many cases are there where an image might illustrate a concept better than a wall of text, e.g.?", and there's actually quite a large number of questions that could fit that category, especially when we're dealing with a beginner who still has a hard time even understanding pseudo-code. I've rarely seen any questions that can't do without UML diagrams.

There are so many questions that benefit from a visual answer, whether it's a beginner question asking about what a piece of code does to a singly-linked list or whether it's an advanced design-related SE question. I'm looking at it from the meta standpoint of trends and forecasts for human behavior (which is always how I'm looking at things). It might lead to more pearls which might have otherwise been duds. To a question, we might use it more often, leading to higher-qualityĬontent all throughout the site. If we had this tool right out of the box, under our fingertips when typing answers
Now the standpoint from which I'm looking at this is not so much like, "It's too hard to draw a diagram outside and upload a screenshot." It might be too difficult to integrate though, can't argue with that.
Found this while thinking of requesting the same thing and I strongly agree with the suggestion.
