Hmm I'm not sure about interfaces like that.
IMHO they usually sit between the sweet spots
of useability and flexibility. There's no free
lunch and all that...
Personally I would spend the couple of days
required to get up to speed on a language to
do the same thing (shell, python, ...)

It does remind me of the "event -> rules -> actions" paradigm
I.E. something like: http://www.rulecore.com/screenshots/index.html

Multiple X sessions

It is possible to open more than one "X" session  on  a single box.
As User #1 (from console) : $startx -- :0
As User #2 (from console) : $startx -- :1  ... and so on
Toggle between sessions with Ctrl+Alt+F(n) and Ctrl+Alt+F(n+1)
and so on ... where n is the first free tty (usually F7)
vnc or xnest can be handy for the same task also.
