text editor instead of drag-and-drop blocks
I understand that this suggestion might cause a bit fuss.
It would be much more convinient for advanced scratchers to code using text-editor with text based blocks, instead of drag and drop.
It can be as an 'add-on' or advanced mode. I don't suggest to drop the traditional drag-n-drop blocks.
I think most of the parser for this editor is almost ready here at the forum code with.
Maybe a 'switch mode' operation between graphic-blocks and text-blocks.

i think this suggestion has been declined before, however i understand that there are people working on a mod called "M30W" or something which turns scratch into a coding language

Re: text editor instead of drag-and-drop blocks
It would be easier for advanced scratchers, but scratch is also a programming language for little kids, so I don't think it is a good idea. but maybe as a "extra" which you could download or something...

Scratch is a coding language. 
It's just object-based, not text-based.
