Exactly, that's what I tried to explain – brains are incredibly good at navigation in spatial environments. There are tricks to use this for memorization – "memory palaces" [1], for example, and there is an increasing evidence that some layers of cortex contain so called "grid cells" [2] that solely responsible for the spatial information encoding.
I never used Blueprints myself, and get the idea of experience from Youtube tutorials. It definitely "works" for the specific tasks, but still, Blueprints from Hell [3] exists for a reason.
Absolutely agree on the UX part of the editor. To make people switch from A to B, B should be twice as cheaper and 10x as good.
