Turbowarp turns scratch code into Javascript, which makes a project (when run on Turbowarp) run faster. However, Turbowarp has some problems. firstly many of us (myself included) hate copy and pasting, bringing up Turbowarp, and waiting for it to load, Just so we can play a lag free game. This is fine for 3d games, but it's just not ok to make 2d games that don't work very well with the website it was created on.
The whole point of coding isn't just to tell a computer to do something, you must also find the fastest way to run the code. If you make a game, it MUST run fast. If you just make a game and give it content, and then when it lags bad just say “Play on Turbowarp” then there is no point in making that game, because there's lag. This is why @Griffpatch is so popular. His Games are lag free, and they are super fun (except for pac-man HD, of course).
Ok, now that I've explained that, let's talk about why scratch is being left for a mod. The answer is quick and simple. Popularity. When we want to get popular, we make a platformer that looks like all the others. When we want to be popular we start asking for hearts and stars. When we want to get popular, we start doing follow for follow (f4f).Of course, this leads to lazily making laggy games, and that leads us to Turbowarp.
Let us now look at @Griffpatch ‘s work. He doesn’t mention hearts, stars, follows, or even tags. This is smart. his games are all popular because he never annoys us by asking for hearts, faves, etc. He only asks you to check out his YouTube channel. The only reason for this is obviously because he joined scratch to help kids code. @Griffpatch is the best example. he treats Turbowarp as a mod, and never talks about it. We should be treating scratch as quality over quantity, and creating games that work.
This is all I have to say, but I think Scratch is split in halve. one side is a bunch of chumps who just want to be popular, and the other makes programs the way programs are meant to be created.

People use turbowarp for a lot of reasons. I use turbowarp 'cus the EDITOR is freaking slow on large projects on scratch and turbowarp is like 100x faster.
Also,the opacity slider,packager, and the hidden for each block is not on (vanilla) scratch.
