From what I see with my own children, Scratch has very much ended up as the "go-to" tool for teaching coding in schools. But Scratch doesn't really "inspire" them as such. What does seem to inspire my children in terms of coding is hardware - at younger ages it's things like Beebot and Ozobot, and then moving onto projects using the GPIO pins on the Pi - eg we got a Pi-controlled robot car kit a couple of years ago which has been great.
