The future of Audrino Prototyping?

I found this great site that lets you simulate programming and wiring audrino projects online...

Unfortunately the site is slightly clunky and there is only a limited number of parts you can use (for instance, there is no Piezo Element). It is also a bother that the basic TUT's don't have a back button and sometimes code that works on the audrino, error's out.

There are good things too though, such as being able to change the resistance of a transistor or the color of an LED by simply changing a few numbers. All in all, this is certainly a step in the right direction to making physical computing more teacher and student friendly.
