> But I can indeed see an argument for strain when using the mouse so much. I have experienced that before and improved my ergonomic setup. As an aside, it is curious to me that many programmers are heavy PC gamers as the one true way to game and don’t complain about the mouse use there but will throw out all sorts of complaints when using it to program or use tools. I wonder also how using visual languages like LabVIEW compares to other mouse-heavy computer users like photo editors/graphic designers, CAD users etc. > Dataflow is attractive to advanced users as well I quite enjoyed using Max/MSP a few years ago when I did some stuff with it for a few months. I've always wished I had it available as a general purpose language in my programming toolbox since. As for other advanced users who use (visual) dataflow, my go to example is Ansys' SCADE Suite[1][2][3], which is used for critical systems like trains, helicopters and power plants.
