Move variables and lists
^ This ^I would support this but.. No support, if you want to display information, just learn how to use sprites to make a counter, it's a valuable learning experience that everyone should go through at some point if they want to make polished projects.
Take my project Stylish pong. If I had just used a variable for the counter it would have been much easier, but would it fit the aesthetic? Nope.
If you want to make good looking polished projects, learn how to make good UI. That's all.
As per this post, no support.
Programming is never supposed to be easy, because if it is, you'll never learn anything. Variables are there to help us “save” things, and I also use it for debugging. But if you want prettier variables and such, learn to make your own variable displayer. It is a valuable learning experience that will really help you. Long ago, 3 years ago, I would have supported this, but now that I understand that Scratch is more than a “game maker”.. No support, as per all the reasons stated before. Keep thinking up ideas, though ^-^ Maybe your next idea would be implemented!

Move variables and lists
A lot of times I need to move variables for various reasons. For example, sometimes they get in the way of sprites or need to move with a sprite.
I would like a block that looks like this:move variable [variable v] to x:(0) y:(0)::variables
I don't have any particular project that needs this, but it could help with coming up with other projects that uses it.
Support!

Create own watcher using a sprite. Then can place anywhere on screen.
Or make a second variable with similar name, set it up in the second location, hide watcher in the first location, copy value over to second variable, show second watcher.

Where would the center of a variable and list watcher be?

I guess, but what happens if this happens on and off and it happens during the time someone plays it.

// this runs in a single frame so you won't see it hiding
hide variable [var v]
show variable [var v]

If you need to…discreetly…move a variable to (say) off the screen \_Ü_/ then you could do: Ehh… What would this be used for?
move variable [foo v] to x:(300) y:(300)::variables
