I really like the node based workflow used by Blender for creating materials, compositing and now for generating geometry. This is where I think visual programming works best, realtime interactive tweaking of something actually visual. It's also generally kept simple and is powerful enough to get the job done. I've always hated LabView however, it grows too unwieldy quickly and the limited nature of its visual display doesn't help. I remember once going to a NI training session around 2008 that was actually a sales session and their guy tried to convince us that LabView was easily parallelisable by drawing two empty while loops and showing them maxing out both CPUs on his laptop. The mind boggles.
