It's interesting to think about this in the context of model based development / UML.
Both are situations where people are trying to make the primary source something other than written text. I guess I'm biased, but I think written text has been wildly successful. The more experience I've gained, the more I use text based tools and generally prefer text to alternatives. Even in a recent case where I wanted a diagram, I used graphviz to automatically generate it.
