I watched the don box talk on infoq. My thought is, just learn EBNF and learn how to write DSL properly. The benefit of learning EBNF is it forces you learn to think in abstract syntax tree (AST), which helps you design good languages. Using visual tools often makes it easy to create a language, but if the person doesn't have a solid understanding of AST, the language turns out to be junk. It's better to learn EBNF first and then use visual tools for designing languages.
my bias 2 cents.
