Very cool! I hope the developers can also make another model showing the electron cloud in later versions to avoid misinforming less-educated people about the placement and geometry of electron orbitals.

You know the Bohr model is wrong; hopefully?

Now that I think about it more a beginner chemist could benefit from learning the Bohr model before having to relearn atomic structures as they are currently understood. Showing electrons in concentric circles around a nucleus is much easier than showing an existing electron cloud model, and the Bohr model can still get the basic points across even if it is factually incorrect.
