Despite it's bad reputation, I've found Backbone to be very easy to understand, and within about 1 hour reading manual and trying, I was able to create a scrolling background with a moveable sprite which can shoot bullets. Not bad for a first try.
But... BB has many flaws which ruin your work: mostly slow speed, of course you can do nice things with it, but you will need to consider BB limitations from very beginning of your project.
Overall, after some days of tinkering with BB, I abandoned it and started to learn programming.
I also tried SEUCK, and I totally failed.
Thats my 5 cents. Propably, Scorpion Engine or Red Pill are better choices.
