Visual programming works very well when you have data flowing, but it doesnt work when you have loops and branching. But it is nice to support graphs for some tasks, it really speeds up some processes.

We managed to make visual programming work well with loops [1] and more or less OK with branching [2]. The trick is to look at loops from a functional perspective (i.e. as iter/map), rather than from imperative.
The dual problem is that flowcharts (in the traditional, control-flow-only sense) cannot show fork-join parallelism or fixed point constructions, while both are readily expressible by data flow.
