Actually, there are mouse based tools for engineers, but they are
more focused on data flow. For the low level they need to fall back to
something similar to Blockly. That's the reason why I don't want to
use them. Still they have a significant market share. With Python not
having an easy-to-use GUI builder, I don't see how to get people
to move from such tools to Python. For the data acquisition and
processing itself I could well imagine them to see the potential,
but when it comes to implementation of a complete program...
(Most people consider a software without GUI as incomplete.)
