My kids have been learning to use Scratch. It's nice that they're able to get simple games going quickly. They enjoy it. I like the messaging patterns they inherit from Smalltalk. One shortcoming of Scratch is that the stand-alone version of Scratch 2.0 requires Adobe Air, which is not supported for Linux. So those of us who have mostly made the transition off of Windows and Macs are constrained to either use the web-based version, or fire up Wine or a VM. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that many robotics projects incorporate some version of Scratch, and thus are difficult to use with Linux as well. I keep hoping this situation will improve.
