I guess you don't like the Pi, and that's fine. But most of us stopped using silly derogatory language like that many years ago.

If you've got a complaint, say it like a grownup, IMO.

As an embedded developer and system designer with many years of experience with Broadcom SOCs, I largely share @centimeter's sentiment, and would likely use similar wording in a private conversation.

Well, feel free to look down your nose at things and act immaturely.

I've built things around all kinds of ARM SoCS big and small... And AVR... and 8051 and 6502... I find things about Pi and Raspbian annoying, and sure wish there was more I/O and better graphics support...

But, how awesome is it that there's a ~$50 lego brick out there, with a ton of computation and long term support that a huge ecosystem of projects have sprouted from? And even better, we have all the boards around with less traction (Beagle*, oDroid, etc) to pick from. I don't see the draw in being elitist.

There's all kinds of projects I'd have had to spin a challenging-to-lay-out and expensive-to-manufacture board for before.. and now I can make a little silly Pi hat and get prototypes done in hours. This is exciting!

Is this all you got from my post? Homophone parody overshadowed factual correctness?
