While it would be a quite useful tool for abstract thinking people, I think visually oriented users wouldn't see the use of that - after all, you need a lot of imagination and it is a very structured approach. Great for macro editing though! :-) AFAIK, GEGL is supposed to allow such things by providing the needed building blocks. Hm. SoC project "build GEGL visual compisition graph editor"?
