Yes Ralf and J. your distinction between measuring and just visualizing makes lots of sense to me. And Julien, I think you are basically saying the same thing. A graphical tool may make it quicker and easier to isolate problems and take measurements to improve audio quality. Monty, I'm going to play a little devil's advocate here. I wouldn't say that anyone needs to throw away their measurement tools when engineering equipment for best performance, but I have heard of blind listening comparisons where audiofiles couldn't reliably tell the difference between two given studio amplifiers, or between given sets of speaker cables. I recognize that "just listen" may be a trite way of dismissing valid points, but isn't listening the primary goal here? But I do agree with you that if using a visual representation helps more quickly and accurately improve the auditory experience, then that's a good thing.
