I've always thought that a visual interface for programming would help with my procrastination problems.

It's so painless for me to open up a webpage and solve daily chess puzzles... on the other hand it seems more painful to open up an IDE and start solving code "puzzles." I wish I could visualize all the pieces of my software similar to chess.

I absolutely doubt that graphical programming, even in its best implementation, will be about solving "code" puzzles.

Regardless of the interface, programming is "work", linking up different interfaces, checking edge cases, conform to protocols...

It would feel more like glorified data entry than solving chess puzzles.
