Instructions

Just imagine going through an amusement park, and being shown all the rides, and how fun you'll have, when never actually going on any of the rides. That statement just explains Scratch 3.0 The Scratch team hyped up Scratch 3.0 to be something completely new, and more innovative. Something that would change Scratch forever and be completely BETTER, but when the actualy update rolled over, we were hyped over something that we'd be later just dissapointed after. Scratch 3.0 is completely a mess for when it first came out. For one reason, people don't want to learn a new way to use Scratch. Scratch 2.0 was completely fine, and didn't need really an changing. It was organized, and was easy to use, while Scratch 3.0 is completely the opposite. With Scratch 3.0, everything is so cluttered and disorganized. Instead of having a place for everything, its all just spread out and wastes lots of space on where you could put the scripts. With the release of Scratch 3.0, they did not add any useful tools, or features, instead they REMOVED THEM. For instance, the toolbox. What happens if I would like to move a sprite from one project, to another? You could just use the toolbox! The toolbox was a useful tool to move sprites, scripts, or backdrops from one project, to another, but when they released Scratch 3.0, THEY REMOVED IT. There is no explanation WHY they removed it, or whatsoever. Instead of replacing this feature with something more useful, or at least a good feature, they did nothing. They only removed stuff in Scratch 3.0, instead of adding stuff. Creating backdrops has never been so hard now when they released Scratch 3.0. When trying to make text, you can no longer select the font size, now you gotta type the text beforehand, THEN scale it. This is so stupid in my opinion because you don't know if the text is going to fit all the way across the screen, or if you have to move it to a new line. It ruins proportion, and accuracy. Now some people don't want to LEARN a new way to code on Scratch, A lot of people (including me) want to continue using Scratch 2.0 because how easier, and less-cluttered it was. Instead of ASKING the Scratch community whether they wanted to see a new version of Scratch, they just made one without our consent. They should cater more to the old Scratchers, rather than focusing so much on the newbies of Scratch. They should create an option whether you WANT to use Scratch 3.0 or not. Scratch 3.0 is horrible, and is the main reason why I have left Scratch, and I think so many people could say the same. Scratch 3.0 is horrible. We need Scratch 2.0 back. I'd be so happy if Scratch created an option where you can revert back to Scratch 2.0. #BringBackScratch2.0 In conclusion, I can say so many more things, hating on Scratch 3.0, but I think I proved my point. Scratch 3.0 is bad, unorganized, and just- not Scratch. If you have anything to say about my opinion, feel free to comment. I can debate, but again, this is my OPINION. And if you like Scratch 3.0, thats fine, theres nothing wrong with that. Thats YOUR opinion! If you agree with me, please spread this among Scratch to bring back Scratch 2.0 with the hashtag, #BringBackScratch2.0

Description

This is my opinion, so don't hate. And for my wonderful followers, who mostly have all left :(, this is the reason why I have partly quitted Scratch.
