Pros



Pro Block-based visual scripting resembles real code
Visual scripting in Stencyl is based on the MIT Scratch project, which was designed to teach programming. Script elements fit together like puzzle pieces, ensuring that data and function types cannot be mismatched.
Pro Easy transition between visual scripting and Haxe code
The visual scripting system is internally translated to Haxe. The resulting scripts can be viewed and edited, and there is also a "code block" object for including raw Haxe in visual scripts. This is great for learning to code, and also for advanced users who can further optimize the scripts if necessary.

Stencyl
Recommended 3 years ago
I've used Stencyl to make 4 games now and it gets easier everytime I make a new project. There is lots of help and support available through the stencyl website and the progress from scratch to stencyl is a great way for my pupils to start making applications for html5 and ios/android platforms.
