You could also ask "why are we still reading books, when we can see
almost anything in movies or on TV?".
I don't think any graphical programming language will ever obsolete
text languages. That would be like we all forgot how to write and
started drawing pictures instead.

I have programmed in LabVIEW, and while it had a very kind learning
curve it became horrible when I tried to do something complicated.
