I’ve been trying to clarify my own opinion on this in words for awhile now and what you’ve written is pretty much what I think too. I hate coding stuff that I know could be better expressed with a visual graph or say, an animation curve. As a software dev on a team I view my job as making tools that the actual game designers and artists can then use to make better games with less effort and while having more fun doing so. I work with Mecanim in Unity a lot, so it’s not quite Blueprints but it’s similar in that you need to think like a coder still when you’re setting things up.

> I hate coding stuff that I know could be better expressed with a visual graph or say, an animation curve. I hate coding animations in CSS, but I enjoy watching them in e.g. devtools. I really wish I could see the representation of my code visually more often. Immediate mode UIs are sort of like this, but I've rarely seen tools which actually show while coding. We unit test (or try to) every new feature, why shouldn't we be able to visualize them too?
