Visual programming was pretty popular in the architecture industry last I remember. Mograph is also another area where I've seen people use it a lot, (its hard to hand model and animate thousands of objects), It's also great for developing shaders and textures that depend on different colors and noise values. Programmers might dislike visual programming because you give up a lot of control, but artists have a far easier time using them than writing "const int x = foo", etc since they have to basically learn a whole new language/subject matter. On that note, I think anything that isn't particularly algorithm heavy and visual could enable a different class of people (like designers and artists) to access the utility of programming logic without having to learn a whole new language and paradigm of thinking. Who knows, maybe in the future, front-end ui work might be done by designers using a "photoshop-for-interfaces" software rather than programmers writing react components.
