I think a lot of people try to take a "one mental model fits all" approach to visual programming: and coding in general.

Sheet music, source code, mathematical equations, graphs, etc. are examples of tools we use make it easier to form mental models.

> It would take a while to learn to efficiently read and style visual code just like it does with text based code.

This is why domain specific VPLs work so well: because they allow people work within a mental model they are already familiar with.
