This may seem weird, but I don't remember there being a then there. Was that just added? I don't think I saw it 30 minutes ago when making a few scripts and blocks.

Yeah, it was added. I dislike it.

Despite the fact that that's how it's worded in every other programming language?

Since when?
Not in Java, C/++/#, JavaScript, Python, PHP…etc.
Still, it's worded like that in several BASIC-like languages. I think it makes more sense TBH because it helps explain why it's got a little hole in the middle a little better for beginners. Plus it's like the exact same block so it's not really that big of a deal.

Obj-c (:-/) also

By C/++/# I just meant versions of C.

Lua, but I guess that's considered “BASIC-like”

for the less serious programers as an example the lego coding system (i dont mean nxt) is worded like that

I don't think it is considered BASIC-like, actually, but I'm not familiar with its syntax so that'd explain why I excluded it. ^^

Yeah, I don't like this ‘then’ either. Why can't they keep it to just ‘if <>’?!

I think it's because that then makes it more simple, and like some other programming languages.
