IRIS Explorer is a commercial product and has used this kind of interface for many years. In my experience it is widely used and popular. Its a bit like Meccano (see http://www.girdersandgears.com/meccano-5.html) you need a rich set of building blocks at the right level of granularity that can be connected in a wide variety of ways to support a wide range of applications. Both AVS and IRIS Explorer allow users to add their own modules and thus they also serve as powerful development environments for trying out new visualization techniques.
