I don't believe there's a silver bullet. Anyway you attempt to cut things, you're going to make trade offs and those are going to influence the rest of your system.
What's going to save the flow-based GUI program once it reaches non-trivial complexity? Is having thousands of little lines going to thousands of little boxes and ovals any better than the thousands of lines of source code?

Yes, I guess I should have called it a "Programming Paradigm Shift".
You would not show thousands of little lines going everywhere. You only show what you need to see at the zoom level or level of detail you are at. What you are suggesting is making things more complicated and the idea is to make things easier, not so?
I would think you would only show the calling parents the more you zoom out and apply grouping or clustering like in google maps with locations:
Marker Clustering
or other standard graphing methods where you would group thousands of little points into a single big point. Not so?
