In fact, turtle graphics might be the one intrinsically useful application of the repeat tile. If that is so, how about moving it to the pen category?
Repeat is convenient outside of pen drawing.
Do you have an example?
Sure, one can write scripts without it but repetition is intuitive operation for kids and dropping it would be a pity.
No, it usually does not do what it intuitively should do.
How about extending "do:" to "do:times:" in scripting category?
In theory that would be a possibility. However, tiles can only have one argument. There is only a single exception and that tile is special-cased in a gazillion places.
