History shows that visual programming can work very well in particular domains (data wrangling, signal processing, 3d image rendering etc) but has never really been successful for general purpose programming.

A lot of the issues related to visual vs text based programming have been debated here many times. As someone with a foot in both camps, I tried to summarise the various arguments here:

I totally agree but Id also like to point out that visual debugging on itself is impractical (although cool and easy to pick up). It has its place in education though.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. But I think a visual data wrangling tool (like my Easy Data Transform) is easier to debug than it's code based equivalent (like Python + Pandas) because you can click on each node in turn and see exactly what is happening, step by step.
