Programming visually is a very hard topic and I am not qualified to talk about it.
However, for me it is extremely weird that programming is still about entering some code / functions from top to bottom in a text file.
Please let me enter code in a 2d canvas where I can put a bunch of functions that are related to each other in one corner, etc. Because I don't need to scroll through code when I know exactly where I put it on a 2d canvas because the thing has an actual shape instead of just top to bottom. Give me different views based on what I am doing. Implementing a feature? Debugging? The developer tooling is abysmal in general and I think the programming industry is doing an awful job in doing any progress as companies don't seem to properly fund these efforts. It is capitalism baby.
I habe to say, I am not really a programmer and I have mental limitations which would benefit a great deal from better tooling.
