I reckon most of professional programming done by people whose main job is not programming is either Excel or VPLs. It seems weird to me, that the saying that visual programming has failed is being repeated still. E.g I think the film and game industries would be nowhere near the fidelity they are today without those tools. Sure, it might be that VPLs are best used for scripting and not for implementing the core systems, but we are usually fine with such distinctions for "real" languages without thinking they have failed.
