One really nice thing about visual programming in general is that it can be done from a phone. Not so much with free nodes, but with more constrained block based interfaces it can be pretty easy.

It's really nice for IoT controls, you can edit stuff without taking a laptop to the thing you're editing.

It also doesn't require memorizing anything, although LLMs largely solve that in text.

But before that one off tasks were annoying in text, every three months having to Google the exact same command syntax or dig up an old script as a reference just for one line of code.
