I'm endlessly amazed that the Arduino platform is as hard as it is to code for. The editor is ridiculous and there's absolutely no API guide or look up for what you can do on it.

Every criticism I give is met with "but it's for kids so shut up!" - but that makes my point more valid!

Image how much easier it would be for kids to learn if it auto suggested words and things like any decent ide, or highlighted why their code won't work before they try to flash it, and had useful links and resources to how to do things.

I use to work in professionally teaching people Arduino and writing other programming stuff. I'd rather keep them away from Arduino, there's no room for self-learning at all. It's only for people who already know C.
