All at once block instead of check box

Remember how the scratch team put in the "all at once" control block to make whatever is in it run all at once? I think the should put that back in instead of the new way of checking a box next to a custom block.

1. You wouldn't need to make a custom block to make the script run at once
2. I think it's easier for new users to understand
3. It can hold if statements and sensing blocks in it (which I'm pretty sure custom blocks can't.)
4. It's quicker

Re: All at once block instead of check box

I can't guarantee many things, but I can guarantee you that the "All at once" block is not coming back.

It's actually quite confusing. I'm fairly advanced at programming, and it still took me a while to understand it. Also, in terms of coding it, it just seems like it has a lot of room for going wrong. As for putting if and other logic blocks in it, that seems like it could get very weird very fast.
