Forever is extremely useful. Of course, you really wouldn't need it in one of your animations, unless you were looping something.

I'm not a fan of random looping animations. After seeing the stick man blowing up 30 times.....

Where did you see a stickman blow up 30 times?

() MOD () is very useful sometimes.

When? When do you need the remainder of something?

No, its definitely forever wait until. I think the scratch team confirmed it in some post.

*Ahem*
Run in single stepping. They both do *EXACTLY* the same thing. This is one of the most pointless arguments I've ever had.

Forever if doesn't start bad habits...?
And mod is EXTREMELY useful!

Getting tired every hundred steps and needing to rest.

First off, how?
If (steps)mod(100)=0?
Ok,
If (steps)=100.  A lot simpler.

no, but look at this:
set (steps) to ((steps) mod (100))
if ((steps)=(99))
Will never go above 99

And plus, your example doesn't get tired every hundred steps, it gets tired AT 100 steps, not 200, not 300, not 400, just 100.

But then it resets to 0.

If (steps)=100
set (steps) to 0.

EDIT: Wait a minute... this block could actually be useful... nevermind what I said before.

Rounding Up/Down:
  (( someFloat <-> (( someFloat <mod> 1 )) ))[/blocks]
rounds down

  (( someFloat <+> (( 1 <-> (( someFloat <mod> 1 )) )) ))[/blocks]
rounds up

Forever if is definitely the most useless. As for most useful, I really don't know... I mean, it's impossible to make a functioning project with only one block...
