Maybe the title should have been I can't do Data Science in a GUI. There is value in making high-level tools more accessible (and in the process gutting them of some of their power). But maybe not for this author.

Maybe you could do a "I can do data science in a GUI" talk and amaze us all (addressing all points the OP made). Hadley has been working for years on making data science programming with R accessible: development of expressive domain-specific APIs, books freely available online, etc.
