Man sollte nicht von blockbasierten Programmiersprachen sprechen, weil es nicht die Programmiersprache, sondern die Programmierumgebung bzw. der Editor ist, der Programme blockbasiert darstellt.

With that, let the rant commence: I despise the phrase block-based programming language. [...] The use of the word “language” is what annoys me. There is no such thing as a programming language that is “block-based”! Programming languages are syntax and semantics; they are abstract, formal notations that describe computation. They do not have a shape!

I agree, but up to now it was not an important issue for me.
