This post is about starting a discussion around why developers wouldn't use a graphical/visual programming language, especially for backend services. By graphical programming, it is meant to use blocks of code recipes (ready to use configurable components) to compose a service (business logic unit). Example: [input parsing] -> [input validation] -> [Third party api];
So, why wouldn't you? Let's hear them.

My work consists almost always on developing on Azure. When I'm, developing the back end, I mostly propose our clients to use Logic Apps because they are so much easier to maintain and so much easier to teach the client how to modify them. So yes, drag and drop the back end is a common scenario for me :)
I don’t think anyone made a compelling one yet.
