Cons
Con Proprietary programming language
The programming language is DM, which stands for Dream Maker. It is easy to learn, and excellent for beginners as their first programming language. However, if you plan to become a professional computer programmer, you may want a standard programming language such a C++ or Java. That being said, with DM you will easily learn object-oriented programming.
