Like you I think quite graphically too. I even have quite a graphical view 
in my head (not on-screen) for some of the Forth code I have written. I was 
with Gordon Charlton when he came up with the Stack-flow idea (see a back 
issue of Forthwrite for an article on that). So, Forth would, I think, lend 
itself to fairly graphical representation. The development platform would 
need the resources to handle all the connections unless you can reverse up 
to graphically represent the code you already have.
