LBP programming: pros and cons

pros:
-visual language
-easier to find your mistakes (a missing comma/bracket would stop normal typed languages)
-fun! much more engaging because you use the character/avatar to fly around your level making things
-music player. This has been added to the game recently, before this was added, there was a constant humming sound that was rather annoying. With access to your own music this encourages you to keep working on your level

cons:
-not enough detail in in-game tutorials
-not enough kinds of simple switches (you need to make your own if/and/or switches, which is time consuming)
-a level editor for the computer/mouse would be a LOT faster. This is how the creators made their levels, so it is harder to make levels up to their high standard

I think a combination of the two would be a winning design. Basically what the creators had access to.
