I am glad he's still doing it but I am not very optimistic that a tangible computer built for children and laymen will lead anywhere good.
Even getting professional programmers to reason correctly about their program is hard. And getting them to not build "intuitive" tangles that devolve into complete spaghetti is even harder.
Everything I know tells me that the software we consider good and intuitive actually requires an enormous amount of unintuitive design and engineering to pull off. Not appreciating this, and not knowing what you don't know, is a plague in modern application development, the kind which makes people boot up Windows 3.1/NT and remark how utterly instant everything is.
