Some people have problems remembering commands, for example. And it’s easier for them if they can see it.

Yes, you can teach a kid to program (with some effort), but there’s a reason why Scratch presents logic units with shapes and colors and a GUI.

There are many reasons why a visual representation may be easier to grasp than just resorting to memory and remembering abstract concepts.

I mean, do you remember everything that you write? You’ve never had to visit Stack Overflow to remember how to do something, because you forgot the exact syntax of an operation? Now, how about if I put things visually in front of you? What would be easier?

I've probably spent more time looking up how to access specific functions in a GUI than for CLI.
