You know, embedded software of any real complexity get difficult pretty 
quickly. In the Linux PC Robot project, I have avoided it for the 
longest time. With the Arduino, I was pretty impressed with the 
development environment. It was the first time embedded programming felt 
like an extension of "regular programming." I know that is a subjective 
comment, but I'm kind of old school, I used to program chips with an 
eprom burner and toggle switches. The Arduino's advantage has almost 
nothing to do with the AVR chip, but everything to do with the simple 
environment, development tools, community contributions, and a fairly 
good design.
