The NoFlo team is coders designing this for our own work first. We are free to put as much code in a black box as we like. We'll be running tests with ourselves and our early community to make some best practices, but there is no rule that keeps you from writing most of your logic in one block. Our theory is that the graph-based view will encourage encapsulation in different ways that make sense for the different domains that adopt the tool.

One of the big design differences (vs Quartz Composer, Lab View, Pure Data) is that it will be easy to dive in and edit component code and make new components when needed.
