Visual programming can work in specific domains. But I've never seen it used in large general purpose systems.

There have been some general purpose visual programming environments which have had some degree of uptake. Prograph is one (http://www.andescotia.com/products/marten/) - it is certainly niche but apparently there are users.

That is because it is not good for large general purpose systems. But it is good for specific domains.
