Scratch is actually pretty cool.

I was able to easily and quickly implement a program for reading values from an ultrasonic sensor in graphical Scratch. Quite astonishing. I've been programming for decades and expected graphical block programming to be a nightmare - I was pleasantly surprised.

It would not be my choice for real programs but it's quite serviceable for learning basic embedded stuff.

I think that Scratch is great to explore an API, so it’s quite expected that it was easy to get going with it. And it uses the concepts of programming without introducing the "why doesn’t it compile?!" madness :-)
