Near fatal flaw: If you accidentally write an infinite loop in your program, there's often no way to interrupt it without killing the app and losing your work. The "stop" icon and interrupt menu items don't work reliably. It's awkward to restart the app; when it does come back up, I get an older version of the notebook that doesn't include changes that seemed to successfully have saved from the notebook menu. This combination of problems makes the app relatively useless for the quick one-off programming tasks I wanted to use it for.
Awesome!!! :), I have tons of fun with it, and its easy to share small coding problems/solutions
Looks very promising! currently, according to the documentation (and personal experience) there is no way to install new libraries, so you only get the basic ones for now
