I couldn't use Prograph. It seemed like I needed three hands (two on the
keyboard and one on the mouse) or a five-button mouse.

I really miss HyperCard, but I wish its out-of-the-box capabilities had
expanded smoothly as it aged, instead of in fits and starts, with
hard-to-use band-aids for new functionality for long periods of time.

Lots of children and untrained adults did many marvelous things with
Hypercard. I knew a guy who knew the guy who wrote a compiler in Hypercard.
