Very well said! This is exactly what I was trying to say (albiet
very poorly) earlier.
As a side note, I am always concerned that this stuff will make it easy at the expense of the programmer actually learning about the algorithms. A graphical envronment encourages that, as you can have a high level block (such as "Execute PID") that is just there to use, but you don't have to actually
know anything about a PID loop to use it!

If it's rampaging around destroying things it's a programming problem.
