Personally, I'm entirely happy with the current IDE. But, as an educator 
who, on Monday, is about to start a class with at least one child
in it who is 7 years old, I can see the advantages of a Full IDE, even 
if only in the same sort of way as one uses those funny little wheels
on one's bicycle, or water-wings when learning to swim.

The main point about what I said is not really about the Full IDE as 
such, but the fact that although there is a lovely webpage with a roadmap
it is still unclear as to what has been completed, semi-completed, yet 
to be completed, or dumped when it was realised that it was undoable, a 
waste of time, or a complete crock of sh*t that seemed good at the time 
of the Kickstarter but, with hindsight . . .
