Visual aspect of FBP is also brilliant and helps to navigate/comprehend inherently parallel execution flow. The same complexity network expressed in linear text would require more effort to grasp. And it allows you to leverage your brain's visual capacity which is quite powerful - humans are visual creatures (https://www.seyens.com/humans-are-visual-creatures). For example in Excel the update dependency network is completely hidden. The maintenance of complex Excel models is really hard.
For same reasons we start looking at FBP and functional reactive programing to simplify the design and maintenance of complex interactive UIs. End up implementing Kelp (https://kelp.app) with visual FBP editor and reactive framework (https://kefirjs.github.io/kefir/).
