As a software engineer who have spent a fair amount of time building and modifying ensembles in Reaktor, I don't honestly see how these structures would be easier to build in code. Their conplexity comes not from environment, but from the meaning they represent; I doubt that connecting 5 LFOs, 3 oscillators and a step sequencer in VIM would be a much better user experience then dragging cords with a mouse.

Check out CHucK some time. http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/

It might not be a completely professional grade platform, but I think it's a good proof of concept of how plain-text programming can build good sig

How do you think Reaktor itself is coded ? that's the point I made in my comment.

What does this point prove? The point of visual programming is in user experience of completing appropriate tasks.
