Re: Why do people still use bgt?
Funnily enough, I was one of those twelve year olds who picked up Bgt because I wanted to make games. I was lucky enough to meet people a lot older than me who showed me that there's more to the field of Programming, Computer Science even, than just games. However, that only came after a horribly bumpy road, that still leaves it's marks on me three or so years later. When I code, I still see the stupid mistakes, I often get confused over things that I rightfully shouldn't at my level, and the main reason I see for this is Bgt.
Another good point, is that you can't do much more than games with Bgt. You can make like... I don't know, a music player? And even that requires you to jump through some hoops with skills that someone who learned purely from the Bgt manual, especially in disjointed manners as most people seem to do, are not going to understand.
Going into the world of Python showed me that there is a lot more to Computer Science than games. There's web design, database management, backend design, the list goes on.
Also, the people who hope to turn there Bgt... skills... into a career are in for a shock, as they're going to show these games they've made to there interviewer and get laughed at.
