Agreed! Many of those claims completely disregard the research in visual programming that has happened in the past 30 years. Specifically the idea that it is about visual vs. textual seems utterly outdated now that more and more modern development environments find ways to combine the best of both worlds.
If anyone finds the time to update these claims, please consider our vvvv in your research:
- A visual programming environment for the .NET ecosystem
- Compiles to C# using Roslyn
- Can use code from any .NET library as visual code blocks
- Its language VL augments dataflow with features from OOP and functional programming, supports generics and easy multithreading
- Useful since 2002: https://vimeo.com/371511910

vvvv definitely doesn't solve all known issues but we hope it raises the bar for visual programming and such discussions.
