The only people who I know who are really dismayed are some people who are hard-core programmers who are pouting that now n00bs will be able to do their stuff too.
However, this leaves room for the hardcore hackers to build an easy base and then go on from there, right?
And it *should* help get n00bs into the program, which is always good, especially for rookie teams.

Thats the point, I took a class laering how to do advanced programming in C# and JAVA then I spent all summer and thanksgiving applying what I have learned to build an autonomous mode for this years robot with the CMU cam not to mention all the code printout my teachers have taken away from me because i was modifying my code on paper instead of reading the boring shakespeare
I also have used the VEX easyC mess and it is awful, yeah you can see the code and it looks just like it would if you typed it but you go through a ton of dialog boxes to get one line of code, its aweful,
noobs should go through what I went through, ten hours of programming a week and they will come out truly able to program, when the world is run by GUI programming environments our programs will stop accelerating
In my opinion the only thing worth using a GUI program to program is another GUI becuase in that case it is pointless constance code that it would be easier to write your own editor than to hard code it yourself
