True. If I'm writing code I probably want to be sitting at a desk to do it.
And I imagine Gauss or Euler sitting at a desk in the middle ages
writing on parchment, not trying to scribble something down on a
notebook while barreling down the streets in their equivalent of a
daily commute.
Still,
To see how far you can scale visual node programming I recommend looking at
Pure Data, Quartz Composer, and LabView. Also interesting is Little Big Planet.
