Pros
Pro Based on the MIT Scratch teaching system
Stencyl's visual scripting system is directly based on MIT Scratch, designed for accessibility and ease of learning.
Cons
Con Text-based coding gets minimal coverage
Visually-constructed code is translated to the Haxe language and can be inspected as text. Direct Haxe code entry is also supported, but other than a single appendix on the "Code Mode" this is not covered in the Stencylpedia tutorial.
