The wheel is a descriptive method?  :)

Flowcharts are not a great way to design or represent algorithms
for most modern languages because they do not guarantee a one-to
one mapping to teir control structures.

They are great if you want to write code that's full of GOTOs, or
if you are disciplined enough to only create charts that you know
will map into your implementation language's control structures.

However, most of the "programmers" I know (and have taught) do not
meet either of these requirements...  :)
