I never thought that, just trying to explain the false psychological hangup. Luna is cool but there have been lots of tools like it that didn't become super popular for programmers.

Just take a screencast of yourself doing programming in Ab Initio for some things that involve little to no textual code input. Then find three or four programmers and ask them if they think you are a good coder/programmer/software engineer. If you get an honest answer they will say you are a good Ab Initio expert but do not believe you are doing programming. I dont think that is correct but I think this dumb perceptual issue where programming is tied to cryptic text is the reason those tools are not more popular for people who call themselves programmers.
