Grasshopper is massively successful in the CAD space. If you’ve looked at a building and thought “that doesn’t seem possible”, it’s probably grasshopper. See: https://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/architecture-projects

But I drive grasshopper with Claude code, so still 100% agree with your last graf.

Yeah but that's pure visual programming, not a hybridization of the best parts of visual and textual programming.

Anyone who thinks code doesn't matter anymore is selling something. Trying saying "math won't matter anymore" while clicking your heels three times

I don't know, my vibe coder friends always talk about wanting a visual programming language so they can understand the systems they make.

So I feel like your last sentence doesn't really track - yes they are like you , just telling specifications to the machine, but they can struggle for hours trying to get those specific instructions right because they can't understand what their systems are doing.
