Short description:

Main problem with usability of ID for new users is complexity of operators. Changing LP to look and work like Unreal Engine's Blueprint Editor might greatly help.

Thanks for the suggestion!

This is a solid "yes please" for me. There are so many instances when trying to make a new operator that I have to go back to my notes/online manual/display panel to look for matching signatures. With this it would be much easier to visualize the signatures and matching(apply/pipe) different operators together, therefore making it easier to create operators.

It probably wouldn't matter for those who deal with FP on a daily basis, but for those who come back once in awhile, it sure helps a lot.

Going this route would mean rewriting Integrated Dynamics because this UI would throw current systems out of the window, but I think it would be worth it.

As much as I agree that a better method of logic things would be helpful, if instead of a full rewrite for the current system why not keep it as is but add a block that you can setup a visual representational tree of what you are trying to do then when you are ready to apply it to the variable cards you put the amount it requests in and the block “compiles” the visual tree into each variable card that is needed.
