What he said

Seriously, though, I do agree with Brad. I have also tried some visual tools in the past, and have never been real happy with them. The one exception is a tool that goes "both ways" - start me off visual, then let me tweak everything by hand. It will be interesting to see what you come up with on these two projects (and of course, I'll be more than happy to test).

I once used a UML tool that didn't allow roundtripping. That was back before Rational became the leader. I want to say that it was called "Prosac" or something like that. But remembering it maybe I just want the drug by the same name?

The other tool I used was a DSP tool for signal processing applications. It let you build a diagram of how to process your signal. It was horrifically inefficient. It didn't do what I needed and I had to learn how to create its specialized modules (negating the whole point of the visual environment). Then to my great relief, managements love for this tool faded and I got to use C.

Wasn't it called ProGraph?

Anyway, the visual tool here won't be anything like a UML. It will be far more easier to use and more useful when building bigger programs.
