I am not sure I see much advantage in visual programming on the small scale, ie little boxes for control flow.

But I badly want it for bigger, architectural concerns. Why do our IDEs just display lists of files in a pane? I've often day dreamed about an IDE where the system is visually modeled as a network of modules/objects, with edges representing dependencies, and you'd double click on a module/object to edit its source code.
