I think w/ a suitable UI it doesn't need to be. Things which need to be addressed:
- it should be easy to instantiate new objects
- minimize scrolling/present lists of choices efficiently --- when using the Blockly version of OpenSCAD, BlockSCAD I often wish that the variable list could be made hierarchical so that the variables from a particular module could easily be identified or limited to
- being able to collapse blocks of code and expand them is very powerful
Trying to get over my aversion to Electron wrappers to try this out.

- WillAdams 4y agoI think you overestimate how fast some folks type, and how much syntax errors impact productivity.
- agumonkey 4y agototally and even without an ergonomic UI, some languages require you to type and go through so many hoops you'd rather click
