For years I've been bothered by the fact that we still use ASCII text-based documents to program. Having spent a good deal of time programing in APL, a language that uses symbols extensively, I'd like to think that I saw just how different things could be.
Having said that, every time I've looked into graphical programming paradigms they almost always seem to fall apart or get in the way of translating ideas and thoughts into machine instructions.
In the end, at least for me, it's about having an environment and a language that gets out of the way and let's me program the way you'd play the piano: The music just flows and the technical bits that make it happen are invisible.
