I have said this argument in HN before, but let me repeat. There's strong evidence that evolution of human language and ability to think with abstract concepts are related. Programming is all about abstractions. It might be even harmful to move to mainly visual programming paradigm. Visualization certainly help in certain subdomains, for example state machines, but, as said, there might be even biological bias in favor for text-based programming languages.
