It seems like the author forgets that the medium of code IS text. Not graphics, or sound, or a 3D model... but code is text, and for now text is the most concise representation of code.
But actually, a textual representation means that you need to rely less on fancy GUI's to write code. There are also added benefits like ease of search. If you're using a nice editor like Emacs or Vim, the medium is very easy to manipulate.
