Do you think they can be powerful enough to build production-grade applications some day or are they going to stay as educational tools or build into specific applications forever?

I don't think it's super well explored yet. I'd imagine the advantage of a UI for coding would be to smooth over odd features/requirements that the programmer would otherwise have to remember to explicitly type in code. Or some level of integration that doesn't lend itself well to text files. So maybe the first "big one" will come from a specialized use case, yea.
