Originally, Jeannette sold Computational Thinking as "If you learn CT, you learn things that you can apply in your everyday life." I don't think many of us believe that anymore.

I hear this complaint about CSP as well but I wonder if it is because of misperceptions about what CS is really all about.
That’s entirely possible. Regardless, “fear of coding” is less of a factor each year. Today’s HS students have increasingly tried block-based coding while young, many want to graduate to something more mature.

I often wonder how much block based coding is having an impact on 'more mature' versions of programming. Would kids getting trained to drag and drop take to text and line based concepts just as enthusiastically?

I find that a lot of students think (correctly or not) that they have reached the limits of what a block based programming tool can do and are enthusiastic about moving to text based languages. A lot depends on what they want to do with programming.
