i have played around with Scratch (trying to teach my daughter how to program) The issue with blocks is that it gets really hard to handle once it gets a little bit complicated. - the display becomes cluttered - A few level of if nestings, and it gets hard to drag around the statements. at least for me: a simple change forces me to mess up the whole structure. the idea looks nice but it gets messy once you start using it for real. Of course for a teaching language it has a big advantage: you don't have to bother about syntax errors. Now maybe its too good to be true, right now i don't know how to get past that stage in my teaching efforts.
