This is a very powerful and impressive modeling system, but its very intimidating! Don't get me wrong, this is obviously my opinion. I believe this is why so few people use (or are even aware of) flow-based programming in their projects (hobbyists + companies).
(Your posting format is difficult to respond to as it doesn't wrap properly and you should avoid top posting) My experience has been that FBP has been used extensively and for quite some time in automotive, aerospace and general controls industries via Matlab's Simulink which allows graphical design, editing, simulation and testing, with subsequent code generation to low level (C, C++, ADA, ...). Most of these users are Mechanical/Electrical engineers who are not particularly adept with modern C++(IMHO of course). Jeff
