This is a really interesting approach to microcontroller programming! I've been stuck using text-based languages for so long.

Graphical programming can make it easier to see the flow of logic, making debugging simpler. It's also great for beginners since it eliminates syntax errors found in text-based languages.

How does performance compare between graphical and text-based approaches? Do you lose any 'power' going with a graphical solution?

With modern graphical tools, performance is comparable. Optimization techniques used in text-based languages have been incorporated, so you don't lose power by choosing graphical options.
