I enjoy the limited environment, retro-like environment myself. It limits my choices to stay focused on small projects, while providing a fairly robust and modern environment to work in.
I think you hit the nail on the head about it providing a limited environment but with modern features. It captures the feeling of what it may have been like to make a Game Boy Color game but without the headache of actually trying to get that set up. Similar to how Arduino made programming microcontrollers easy (they were founded because the founders found it annoying to do).
