PyFlow – Visual scripting framework for Python – NodeRED alternative?

I'd be more sympathetic to this idea if I hadn't seen the tactic executed repeatedly over the last 10 years to ensure vendor lock-in, which ultimately burns the end user. And/or requires them to insecurely freeze a portion of their IT infrastructure in time.

And honestly, if your GUI/designer is standardized, then it's trivial to define a stable serialization to and from text anyway.

You only need to sympathetic because you have let yourself become jaded by your anecdotal experience.

It didn't feel anecdotal when I was the one trying to modernize systems like these in the face of vendor apathy (or active hostility) and business resistance to change, because they had 10+ years of legacy "code" built in these things.

So every other software project for every business ever? Got it, still anecdotal data
