       Drag n' Drop Programming is still Programming, You or I may prefer text base languages but that doesn't make Drag n' Drop languages any less valid as a Programming Language, you shouldn't shame people for programming in Drag n' Drop.The primary skill of programming isn't remembering the key words and stuff, it is understanding logic flow and planning how you get to solution of the problem you face, most text programmer still essentially Drag n' Drop anyway, if they tell you "I remember all I need" they probably lying, or have very narrow focus with what problems they face, because everyone looks up to jog their memory and Drag n' Drop is essentially that but the function is built into the language.If every programmer did remember every key word in a language you wouldn't see dozens of cheat sheets on a single search which are meant to be printed out and placed near your workspace.Also while you may prefer text language there are some application for which a more visual base language like drag n' drop help you think in way that makes said problem easier. (such as some drag n drop langs for OpenGL)

       @Codeawayhaley dev bros make the same “not real programming” arguments about declarative languages too because apparently typing what you want in a text editor and letting an optimization engine translate it to lower level instructions isn’t real programming, but typing what you want in a text editor and then letting the compiler translate it to lower level instructions is. 🤷🏻‍♀️
