One thing that shaders really don't cover is doing this stuff with boxes and lines. That's why I was excited about the vertex objects. I think that it would be possible to make the vertex objects the easy way into all this stuff, for people who are likely to never touch shaders. I teach a lot of people who really try to avoid writing C/Java like code, they dislike even things like Processing and switch to Pd/Max because it fits there brain.
