No, it's not "all the same". What you see as extra and harder visual tasks is actually easier for many. Is it that hard to imagine that when coming up with "I need a loop here I guess" a young kid could find it easier to find the loop bubble than remembering the loop syntax and typing it correctly and not getting frustrated by syntax errors?
- vorpalhex 5y ago1. 'coming up with "I need a loop here I guess"', non-visual 2. "loop" -> "loop block", non-visual (the loop block is a yellow thing with two teeth and says "while" on it, this is a recall task) 3. Either typing the thing or executing a "find the block and drag it" action. This is the first "visual" task. Sure, maybe if the kid genuinely can't type but can do gross + fine drag tasks than scratch is a winner, but this is not "visual programming". All the work is still not visual.
