I've always felt that the "Scratch" programming that the kids are doing these days may actually get them turned off on programming. While easier to get the kids started, I think the kids quickly start to feel just how mundane and boring programming is when they are just dragging and dropping pre-set elements on their screen all day. The ones that are meant to program would flourish under a computer with just a black and white Terminal app on their disposal. But give them Scratch and I think they will be thinking of other careers.
