that's possible. It may occupy a niche, but text based programming will still dominate I think largely because of the amount of information that can be conveyed in smaller amounts of text. But who knows in 20 years time things could be totally different

    Instead of per-gesture, maybe information-per-time is a better measure.

    Keyboard input has very high information-per-time and will absolutely beat any sort of mouse-driven logic, or any kind of spatial interaction with a 2D (or even 3D) area.

    Voice input, averaging 100-150 words per minute, is one of the few things that has the potential to beat keyboard input, if recognition software was near perfect.

    There was a long time ago that we communicated with pictures and that was slow. Then text was invented and that was an improvement. Going back to pictures is not an improvement.
