Field looks interesting but I'm a bit skeptical about its usability after downloading it and poking around for a few minutes. One thing that seems incontestable is that the GUI is in need of a serious redesign to make it usable. I have 20/20 vision and the lack of contrast renders text very difficult to read. This problem seems to exist throughout the application (and on the website btw).
Based on a quick run-through of the site, this looks absolutely amazing. I've been following Processing and openFrameworks for a bit, and this looks far more intuitive and mature.
Reminds me of Self: http://research.sun.com/self/
Would love to hear from people interested in these types of application(I'm not ready for a public release yet, but will begin putting up a bunch of Writeups/Demos soon):
