" > We're still in the stone age of software development."

Very true, many times I wanted to let the computer do my work (work on
multiple files) but then I discovered I had to make a batch, shell
script whatever, which cost me a lot of learning time, then I run
(tested) it on real data, thus deleting or changing those on the way, I
was not happy because of that. 

Simply put, I'd love to see a VISUAL programming interdace / GUI ala MS
Visio where the objects wouldn't be just graphics but be real objects
WITH functionality, i/o-ed by means of lines like a PCB or ala Visio.
You'd have conditional objs, loop objs variable holders etc. and to test
the 'program' you'd SEE the PATH it was taking going trough if then else
while objects. I would not be for really big programs but for the small
beginning or semi-pro user it would be a delight I bet!

Does something like this exist? I sure would like to know!
