It is low-level. But, really, its not supposed to be a high-level tool. 
But-- If you're working on a softsynth, or fooling around with DSP 
techniques, it beats coding up a program, since it already has the 
framework laid down, all you need to do is make the connections. It can 
also do things live, which can be interesting.

plugging something in, and solving it w/o having to manually do the 
algebra.
