I do not disagree with that at all! I played Minecraft for the first time before it even had multiplayer, and I'm currently running a survival server for my friends. I think it's a great game for people of all ages, I just don't think it's any good as a "programming" game.

I guess my bias is that I played Garry's Mod with the Wiremod addon before Minecraft was even a thing, and it personally taught me a lot more about programming and logic than Minecraft ever could.
