I think you've identified an interesting problem in the "cultural dialog" around this subject - that legacy terms like "WYSIWYG" and "Visual Programming" are holding back conversation.
The core idea in the article (that "Hacker Culture’s bias is holding back interface design") is a solid one, but a new term would make it easier to identify the problem without all the implications carried out by the broken tools of old.
Maybe some new term like "Rich Visual Interaction", or "Web Application IDEs", or anything that ties the idea of development with using modern visual technologies and representations would help.
