I have seen kids play with both Scratch and Etoys and I wouldn't pit them 
against each other. They appeal to different sets of children.

Scratch appeals to a younger lot (6-9yrs) as the built-in sprites are more 
concrete. Etoys morphs are more attuned to older kids (9+) that are 
transitioning from concrete to abstract ideas.

I wish we had a smooth transition in terms of visual themes and controls for

Tuxpaint (3-6) -> Scratch (6-9) -> Etoys (9+)

Just my take .. Subbu
