It has the huge benefit of compatibility with existing tools
and systems without the need for "importing and exporting"
of raw source or cluttering of source with meta-comments.
If no one uses your tool, it will be useless in promoting the
programming methodology it supports. Those using the tool
exclusively would not have to work with raw source code.

Well, the focus of jGRASP is low and high level
visualizations. Viewing or editing source code without
having a frequently updated control flow graph in the
indentation space is something we argue against.
