I agree. You don't have a syntax to remember with scratch (and everything is all cooolourful) so it's very easy to code a good application. I'd say text-based programming languages take longer to learn to compared to scratch because of this.

Yeah.

Give me a break...

Please do not spam on the forums. Thank you, and Scratch On! 

If you hate people who always say that, look at this thread. We all hate it, so just go there and support lol.

... and I disagree, in some circumstances, Scratch is not that easy. I'm into .NET programming now (Visual C#), and it's like "oh my, did I really make a speech synthesiser on this?" when I come back to Scratch after some time. Sure it's easy for people who are total beginners in programming. But not everyone wants to actually program - and, dunno why, they get more views... (u know who i'm talkin' 'bout)

Excellently stated.

Rephrased in my voice

... and I disagree, in some circumstances, Scratch is not that easy. I'm into "real" programming now (Visual C# and Python),  Sure it's easy for people who are total beginners in programming that are programming simple things, it gets harder when you start doing things like programming a scroller with perfect gravity, perfect platforms, and a way to mask the "bounce" of the character... (Not that I actually did that, myself ^___^) But not everyone wants to actually program - and, dunno why, they get more views... (u know who i'm talkin' 'bout - the warrior cat thing)

When compared to every other method of computer programming it is easy. Oh course there are somethings that take more knowledge to make but to make programs that scratch was designed for is easy.

Scratch is awesome. I've been using it for about 1 and a half years (I had a previous account) and I wasn't even doing that good in school.

I learned everything I know about Scratch today from downloading and trying to understand projects.
