Your code, as text, serializes structures that change in all sorts of beautiful ways over time. It's hard to represent that in two dimensions. We can write about it though, in a language the computer can interpret/deserialize.
Building a good visual programming environment I'd imagine would require either having a way to visualize and move around in higher dimensions, or dumbing down and limiting what can be done to fit neatly in two dimensions.
I like Reaktor Blocks a lot, by native instruments. They took the second tactic, and the result is beautiful (but limited). For what you use it for, it works great.
