I think multimedia authoring software should be intuitive enough, and well documented enough to allow a fairly non-technical user to do amazing things without constantly needing to ask assistance from local forum gurus.
If you keep looking you might find the multimedia authoring software you're looking for. But if you're looking for a programming environment you'll get tired of running into the walls of such point-and-click tools pretty quickly.
I want to learn alone.
FWIW, I've not known anyone one who's learned any programming language without some contact with others. I'm sure it could be done, but less easily.
Given the inherent imperfections of this planet you will at least encounter anomalies, and others who've dealt with them before can share solutions for those quickly.
And there are at least a million other reasons why sharing knowledge in a community is worthwhile.
The second thing I do when I'm learning a new language (after reviewing the token set) is signing on to the language's main mailing list.
While much of the task of programming may be solitary, I believe most of the learning of programming is inherently a social activity. Programming is such a big, flexible world, I've seen no book that could come close to what a good community can do for one's learning, and there seems something magical about programming that generally attracts personalities who are prone to sharing.....
