Why Limit Advance Features?

Many times, an entire army of people have wanted a new feature in Scratch but because the Scratch Team thought it would be confusing for new user, was ruled out.

I have some questions:
Why do new users have to now what everything does, they'll find out sooner or later?

Also, new users normally gradually enhance their abilities, they probably wouldn't mess with features they don't understand.

Plus, if they do mess around with those features, the worst that can happen is, it doesn't work right and they move on. So why limit us, because of new users?

I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: Why Limit Advance Features?

Scratch is an educating device for leetle children. So they try to keep it as simple and lowprogrammingknowledge-friendly as possible.

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>
