If the pointing and clicking generates code that can seen and stored, then fine. A reproducibility problem comes from the fact that most point-and-click tools don't. As a computational biologist who uses R I am often frustrated by experimental colleagues who use Excel and often can't remember how they transformed the data months later. I don't necessarily have better memory but I can go into my script and look.
