The flow based visual programming has always being challenging field, and the problem remains: what are the values added comparing with the text based coding?

I really want to love it, please give me a strong reason.

Debugging is quite nice. Clicking on a wire and being able to visually see its value at runtime and even present it in a custom UI, like a graph or chart, is awesome.

It's easier to parallelize a flow graph than a sequential series of instructions. (This is why visual flow programming caught on in embedded hardware and IoT.)
