I prefer model view frameworks, which don't allow changes of the underlying model via the diagram, e.g.:
FXDiagram: User decides what's in a diagram (graphically), layout semi-automatically, some nice reconcile operations to deal with model changes
KLighD: User scripts what's in a diagram, fully automatic layout, nice expand/collapse of container nodes inside the diagram
Graphviz: Hook up a code generator for your language that generates .dot files. Very simple to hook up in Xtext, but no GUI
Generic Graph View (discontinued): User models textually (scripts) what's in a diagram and how it's rendered
Some resources on that topic:
