The problem is that Modkit is extremely buggy, and resembles an alpha product more than a finished software. So if you're looking for a no hassle solution for children and teachers with no previous experience, I'd definitely go for the EV3.

What you've described about the software issues is pretty accurate to what our program has experienced, in addition to issues with some of the hardware.
We offer both Lego and VEX iQ.
However, given the choice of which platform, I'd take VEX iQ over Lego anyday. There are just too many advantages that iQ offers that Lego doesnt........and it starts with driving the robot.
We use Lego as an Exploratory 7th grade STEM course. We implemented VEX iQ for those kids in the Exploratory course, that further choose to be part of a competition team.
