...or if you don't know the "clever 555 hacks".
Visibility of arduino in the hobbyist space is HUGE. While the 555
has been around a long time and has it's own "hacker" tradition built
around it, for whatever reason it isn't visible in the current
hobbyist community.
In 2 years of running a make group, people talk about Arduino all the
time. I don't recall anyone ever having mentioned the 555.
