No enjoyable cross-platform desktop IDE for learning and hobbyist development

Existing options for beginner-friendly cross-platform desktop development (VisualBasic, Xojo) have been abandoned, commercialized, or lost focus on hobbyists. New developers lack an affordable, all-in-one IDE that abstracts complexity while teaching real programming concepts. The gap between toy tools and professional IDEs leaves hobbyists and learners underserved.
