Responding to: ???'s previous message


MAKE pushes Arduino because it fits in with their silly "maker" hobbyist notion. And Sparkfun and Arduino buy a lot of ad space :)

Seriously, there's nothing in an Arduino board that you can't get from any vendor's eval kit -- SiLabs 8051, TI MSP430, on and on and on ... It just has this goofy ecosystem that was built up around the notion of "open-source hardware," which fills a need that I fail to grok.

Of course, if I interviewed a prospective employee and he asked, "Do you use Arduino in any designs?" the interview would be over immediately.
