From speaking to colleagues, there is a perception that visual languages are somehow “doing the work” for the student and such environments are more appropriate for younger learners.

My belief is that such languages are wonderful tools for teaching and learning object oriented concepts. They give students that visual imagery that I feel is very useful in understanding these concepts that are core to all languages – visual or textual.

Outside of teaching and learning though, I am very curious to know how accepted visual environments are in the industry. Finally, the questions you pose are very interesting, especially question 2, that’s a question I want to discover an answer to myself!
