"Scratch Rip-offs"
Heyo! People are calling Blockly-based coding languages such as MakeCode Scratch Rip-offs when all are based on Blockly **INCLUDING SCRATCH**! What do you guys think?Kind of stupid that people just keep saying everything that is made with blocky is a rip-off of scratch. When blocky is by google not scratch or MIT. Even google's blocky websites, people say it is a rip-off of scratch. Probably getting people to only code with scratch so they can sign up and follow the person who said it.

Yep, or CodyPony.Oh, and it would randomly delete my instructions and notes and credits text.You mean PlayCodePony? That was quite the playground for us Scratchers.
Edit: also I meant 502 not 503
It's a Chinese rip-off

(#5)it could be a new mod and be called TurboSnap!Turbowarp is best imoThat's a fair opinion. Turbowarp is incredibly extendable. Only thing I like about Snap! better is that it allows you to make far more elaborate reporters(boolean and values) and custom blocks without having to think about touching JavaScript.
Just for reference, here's most of the windows under “Make a Block”

If somebody made a fork of Turbowarp that did all of this whilst keeping the extensibility and speed, it'd 100% be the definitive Scratch mod… but sadly, that doesn't exist. The Sphenisciformes mod comes close, but it's just not there yet.
