My son (13) does some pretty advanced stuff with Scratch which often leaves me speechless:

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1374719935

He started using it when he was 9 and hasn't complained about it being too limited yet.

On the contrary: Whenever I show him environments like Godot or GameMaker he's instantly repelled by how complex everything is. I guess there's nothing quite like Scratch because it's easy yet powerful enough and everything is built-in (code editor, graphics editor, audio editor).
