This seems like really nice software.

It's a pity that Scratch seems to innovate at a very slow pace - Snap is far ahead of Scratch.

If you are interested in teaching kids to program I can highly recommend Construct 3 and also Code Combat.

It would be really helpful if Scratch would allow projects with multiple scenes. For any moderately involved story or game, there will tend to be multiple scenes or levels. The limitations of a single scene makes it necessary to write many conditional statements to show and hide items or change backdrops when a scene or level changes.

Interesting that you should mention the idea of scenes, just as we've begun working on them in Snap!

Very cool! Here is a bit more context about the idea/need:

Jens wants to do that in Snap! as the next big feature.
