Code (as in "formal text") is just a representation, a means to show things in a way that is easy to edit. I don't care if you use a graph editor or a workflow engine or whatever tools there are out there, you're still formalizing the thoughts in your head. You still need the core skills of a developer. Except that you're actually at a disadvantage now because nothing we've seen so far beats plain old text in terms of editing, at least for general purpose tasks. So what did you really gain in exchange?

So yeah, I'm open to new ideas, but I haven't seen anything really convincing in this direction so far.
