It's not purely graphical, but MATLAB with Simulink definitely qualifies as both mainstream and general purpose from my perspective. A feature equivalent FOSS alternative would be nice though...

I've never dabbled with MATLAB or Simulink before (and I don't think I have the background to do so, at least for Simulink!) but I did just skim some of the tutorial videos.

What stood out to me was the instant feedback that's provided when the pipeline was modified; you can immediately see the ramifications of your actions.
