There's a discussion of this on the Bootstrap blog: http://www.bootstrapworld.org/blog/blocks/Block-Getting-Started.shtml http://www.bootstrapworld.org/blog/blocks/Block-Getting-Star.... (That's Bootstrap, the teach-scheme-to-middle-school-children project, not Bootstrap the JS library.) They've tried it both ways. I'll quote their bullet points:
> Things we love about blocks
> 1. Blocks lower the barrier for entry
> 2. Less frustration
> 3. Useful hints
> 4. Visual reinforcement of structure
> Things we don't love about blocks
> 1. Penalizes fast typers
> 2. Higher demand on short-term memory
> 3. Small space of visual cues
> 4. Poor Accessibility
They go into detail on each of these.
