As far as I can see, EMC XProc Designer cannot translate graphical representation to code and vice versa. Am I wrong here?

Depends on what you call code. It produces XML file of that format, there are "source" and "download" buttons.

By code I mean programming language code - something you enjoy to use and program with. Do you enjoy XML to program with? :D

That's neither here, nor there. There are things like AST, various Lisps, etc. It's in the same realm as XSLT, you're not going to go as far as not calling it a programming language, are you?
With a proper IDE support it's no harder to write than Lisp. So by that definition

the answer is yes, it can.
But the most popular tool in this category probably was Yahoo Pipes. They closed Yahoo Pipes.
I don't think that's entirely true. For example there is EMC XProc Designer[1]. XProc is a mature W3C standard with several open-source implementations.
