Comment:

 Eben also agrees with me, in the Sugar mailing list he said:

 "
 Incidentally, one of my major complaints with the "resume by
 default" behavior is that it makes starting new activities hard to do,
 and virtually impossible to do without using a secondary action, which
 is the wrong approach in my mind. I think starting from home, with the
 option to resume, while encouraging one-click resume from the Journal
 is still the correct approach.  I think offering the option to enter
 "resume by default" mode is great, but I'm not sure it should be,
 itself, the default for Home view.

 In practice, it seems it has worked too "well". It used to be that
 kids never resumed activities. Now, it seems, they never start new
 ones. The solution seems to be in encouraging use of the Journal and
 the Home view for these different default actions, and in clarifying
 the UI such that kids understand and desire to do so.
