Generic graphical programming, in things equivalent to your examples, has so far sucked. Anyone who has ever been forced to do it for more than a trivial amount of time, creating more than trivial programs, has experienced that. I understand the 'non-textual programming' evangelism as wishing for something 'better than textual programming', but it's like people wondering whether there isn't something better than math to describe Nature. Unless you come up with something, there isn't and you can't claim there is or has to be. Some small parts can be described by diagrams and words perfectly. For the most part: math or bust.
