Visual programming works best with functional programming because everything is neatly ordered.

Most programmers don't like FP, so they probably don't tend to such tooling.

I think saying that most programmers don't like FP is a bit more extreme than the actual case here, which is that I think most programmers aren't familiar with FP (although this seems to be growing rapidly due to introduction in Java and other places).

That said, I think many of them seem to find it harder, especially in the beginning. But I think we have to conquer familiarity first.
