I am interested in this; however, the section for differences from Arduino is very short and not convincing.

The kickstarter page should have more tech details to convince me; for example: I had to go the product webpage to see what the development environment was like (seems to be an ACE-esque editor).

They claim major usability advntage over arduino, but no details? ... On it's face this seems like a weak arduino-killer attept.

Just read an update somewhere else...there actually are some pretty cool features with it: one being a browser-based IDE. Might actually be worth a look. Here is the update: http://hackaday.com/2012/09/10/galago-the-latest-in-a-series...
