> it makes bad code harder to write than good code
In practice, I've only seen bad code drawn in LabVIEW; it was shocking for me to see a "good" code example once. But then fixing bad code (i.e., refactoring) is only pain and suffering compared to text-based languages.
> quite obvious visually
Agreed, you can see how confusing it is, but unfortunately that never stopped anyone from doing it that way in my experience.
The only saving grace of LabVIEW is that you can now interface via C/C++ and avoid G (their "graphical programming language") altogether.
