I think of this as the "Rick Allen Solution." Rick Allen is the drummer for Def Leppard, who lost his arm in a car accident. He says that overcoming his disability has turned him into a better drummer.

Fundamentally, forcing yourself to do visual programming like this, is like tying one arm behind your back. It's so impossibly difficult, that you'll demand that the tools you use are the best quality, and intelligently solve as many of the problems at your layer as possible.

The truth is, if developers insisted on good tools with good abstractions, they'd achieve all of the supposed benefits of visual programming.

Most developers forget they're responsible for making their own living space well-organized. They just code, leaving a mess everywhere.
