You were doing game maker and you wanted advanced features? Game maker has loads of advanced features,it is powerful and has a easy to use format.
Scratch very limited features compared to most languages (and gamemaker). It is more like actual programming than using gamemaker though. I would say that scratch has the least ammount of features of any game making tool out there.

I've been using GM as a hobby for a few years now, (Making 3D models and small 3D games) but for this we have to learn and use scratch. Even though I'm priority/highest grade, I still got my 3rd choice, I've downloaded scratch on my comp (only took 40 minutes on my ultra fast 5 kbps PC) And took a look at it. I assume I drag the icons from the left to the middle..."Scripts."
And have you ever used gamemaker? Does this thing even use any code at all?
Edit:
Ok, I've already found out how to do everything on this...

I used gamemaker before I used flash, its an alright program, I never got good at it though.
Scratch uses no code, just code blocks.

If you got even ok at it, you'd have moved onto code which actually lets you make something complex. I was making a tutorial for someone on 'crosshairs', here's a part of it..
draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index,image_index,x,y,1,1,aim,c_white,180);
draw_sprite_ext(aimer_spr,0,x,y,range,range,aim,c_white,180);
xx=instance_create(x,y,bullet);
xx.direction=aim; xx.speed=bullS;
This is their first your their using scratch..or any program...
I guess this'll be a waste of time...
Can scratch produce exes?
Edit-A Spell fix

This sentence

Makes no sence so I can't really reply to that...

That program will make scratch files .exe files
Scratch is good for people to start on because it requires very little skill. It was made for young people who are generally not ready for text based programming languages. Scratch is good for simple things but I personally think that GM would be better for complex things.
