Very cool, I did not know that somebody had already gone and made a programming language like this. In watching the first ~10 minutes of the demo video [1] my thoughts were "Yes, this is a perfect example of where a table could be better than if/else," then when the warning indicators popped up at 5:50 "hmm, boolean algebra is still hard," and then at 7:30 with the demo of fibonacci/recursion "exploded expression trees that must be manipulated by mouse... let's go shopping."
But still, a lot of interesting thinking went into something like this, and it makes you wonder if it would be appropriate to "embed" a similar interface into an IDE for manipulating complex switch case/elseif chains.
