Ugh, LabView. Do not want.
One of my main gripes is lack of version control integration. I want to use something like git, and I want to be able to easily and succinctly see what's been changed by who.
You have to look at the "code" only using their own GUI tool. Large functions involve lots of scrolling, and at least with Labview, I was not aware of any means by which to jump around to specific parts using hotkeys or such. You'd also have pages of logic stacked on top of each other, where you can only view one page at a time.
If you're implementing something that is going to closely resemble a circuit of some kind, I suppose it is OK, but when things start to get complicated, I found the system cumbersome to navigate. This impedes comprehension, and invites mistakes.
I've also used this other GUI-driven code generation system, and that had serious issues too. It has this hilarious graphical view of all the components, showing how they are connected to each other. However, due to the limited size of the window, it will just stack all the components almost on top of each other. If you started the laborious process to move them around to see what is going on, your layout would not be saved.
So, anyway, a modest proposal: Figure out how to display an existing programming language (maybe a simple one like Lua) with a graphical view. Allow me to easily navigate through the code, and let me see all the details easily.
