I agree 100%.
But I think starting there is better than not starting at all. The trouble
comes, just like Arduino, when people won't take off the training wheels.

I really don't know. Once I got mine I
became far, far less excited. Now
it's just been relegated to running on the UPS doing nothing but serving a MOP
image for a DECserver.
I'm afraid these things could give a whole crop of kids totally the wrong
idea about what embedded programming is. Using a familiar platform is neat
because it means you can start from knowledge you already have but running a
full-blown timesharing OS just to control a few blinkenlights or whatever is
morally wrong.
