A newb is willing to learn, and when it applies to GM, they will most certainly consult the manual before posting on a forum. A n00b, on the other hand, will go directly to posting on a forum, and ask "Where can I download the manual?". So, I believe there is a difference between n00bs and newbs. Drag 'N' Drop is not necessarily a bad way to start with GM, but seriously, it doesn't allow nearly as much. You don't have the flexibility of scripts with D&D, you can't use do loops, while loops, or for loops. I commonly use do loops. I was helping somebody on the GMC with their game, which HAD to be in D&D for conversion with G-Java, and I was surprised at how much I hated D&D. I was attempting to remove glitches, and fix some things, but I didn't have the flexibility I needed. If the player got stuck in a wall, I would implement some sort of loop to find the nearest collision free position, but I couldn't do that in D&D, so I gave up.
