Worth adding, we have found much higher returns building tools to solve the problems that a visualizer would normally help you with in other ways. For example ERC checking and modular abstraction of circuits. Working at a 'block diagram' level is much more intuitive than at the net level in my experience.

We also think that there might be better and more interesting ways to view your data, for example maybe you want to just see all the power paths through your circuit, or investigate how a signal travels from your input to your adc through filters, protection etc. Often on big designs these things might be strewn across multiple sheets and a bit hard to follow.
