There are distinct differences between (1) visualizing a program (e.g. light table), (2) using a visual interface to generate the underlying (e.g. XCode Storyboard), and (3) a "language" whose primary or sole mode of "programming" is visual (e.g. LabView).

In most cases I agree that label is a misnomer, but I think something like LabView genuinely does fall under the category of a visual programming language.
