I completely understand what you say, about the problem being in the details. For what is now one year, I have been working (on the side) on graphical code + special UI. Currently I am really happy with the prototypes that I have, and plan to continue working on it. I expect to have an actual product in some time, perhaps two years at my current work rate. I am also pondering if it would be possible to extract commercial benefit from such a product. My current plan is to release a free/open base version of the product with little restrictions. Over that, offer special enhanced versions. Perhaps a simplified educational version for kids to learn to code, a game programming version with openGL integrated, mostly targeted to young programmers, etc.
I think that for now the best way for me, to continue developing my product, is to continue working isolated from the world. At this stage is probably still early, but if anyone is interested to know more, and think that can provide something, I am open to considering possible partnership. Unfortunately at this point, I am not willing to share online any of the progress done.
I also have a few offshoot tool prototypes and a current side project into code visualization that I'm building, also not ready for public viewing. Get in touch if you're interested.
