New d&d data exploration and ML tool from MIT (news.mit.edu)

What do you think about those visual tools, especially in ML? There are some successful ones (like Rapid Miner) and aspiring ones like Luna, but I'm not convinced. I think they want to target a layman for whom they are too difficult to use (because building a model requires a technical mindset) and advanced users prefer to write a script. It is tempting to try to build something similar, and I am trying myself, but I want to avoid this trap. I am thinking about a tool that would take some burden from the advanced user leaving all the power and access to raw code.

Please title this correctly. I got so excited to go through a dataset about dragons and the dungeons they reside in.
