I *still* haven't seen a visual scripting system that is actually more concise and readable than a bunch of text/code. There's trivial examples that are fine in both, but the visual version always turns into a tangled mess sooner than the text.
I am totally fine with visual scripting thingies for people who prefer that way of working, or for people just learning, if both are equal. But they seem to always scale worse.
I really honestly truly want to see a counterexample - where visual scripting is like "oh, I see what it's doing" while the text version is unreadable. But I've never seen it.
(yes, I am subtweeting the HL:A stuff. Every one of those networks looks like the code would fit in a tweet)
