    Great demo of flowcharts, but how could a non-developer / analyst (i.e. business user) be expected to create/modify workflows without the aid of Intellisense?  Being a C# programmer, I need it just to remember the peculiarities of VB syntax.

    Yes - sadly we can't provide intellisense outside of the Visual Studio environment.  It is interesting to look at the ways in which others have allowed their end users to design workflows in a rehosted environment.  Of the cases I've seen, none of them allowed end users to directly edit expressions because they felt it was too difficult for their users.
