Default Contemplating a graphical Templatizer...

I was thinking of rewriting the templatizer *yet again*, this time to give it a graphical user interface. Anyone think this would be a good idea, or would I just be wasting my time?

Basically the way this GUI would work is like the Art of Illusion texture editor. You'd have a bunch of "blocks" each representing some elementary function or variable, and by plugging the blocks into each other you could create complex equations, with the added ability to save a set of blocks as a new block for future use. Of course, I'd hope to still support typing in equations (don't want to have to add 3 separate blocks just for 3 + TechLevel! ), but I'm hoping making the program more "visual" will increase its usability... do you agree, disagree, not really care, whatever?
