Unpopular opinion: Scratch vs Python for first-timers caused a rift in my study group!
Last month, my study group split over whether to use Scratch or Python for our first project. Some said Scratch makes ideas clear without syntax mistakes. Others argued Python teaches proper programming from the start. We still haven't agreed! Where do you stand on this debate?

Arguments like this happen all the time, like when gamers fight over console vs PC for beginners! It's more about how each person learns best than one true way.

Yeah the "how each person learns best" part is so true. People get stuck on picking the "right" tool instead of the one that actually works for them. I see it with music gear all the time. Someone will argue for hours about the best beginner guitar, but if you hate how it feels, you won't play it. The best option is the one you'll use, not the one that wins some fake contest.
