I'm not sure how you could go about measuring this, but one thing you'd need to do is consider what we mean by programming. Spreadsheets are easily used for small tasks, but are also used for surprisingly complex and important things. In general, we've not had much success with programming languages for these kind of LayProgrammers. One property of spreadsheets, that I think is important, is its ability to fuse the execution of the program together with its definition. Using examples as a first class element of a programming environment crops up in other places - UI designers also have this. So why do I feel we need this particular Neologism? I've chosen the term "Illustrative Programming" to describe this, partly because "example" is so heavily used (and illustration isn't) but also because the term "illustration" reinforces the explanatory nature of the example execution.
