Gotta say, Arduino IDE is a hobbyware at best, but in my not so humble opinion, is a completely pile of chocolate pudding.

OMG, it can only target one type of hardware at a time. It has to apparently be completely reconfigured when you use different hardware. Libraries and the like that are loaded for one board cannot be loaded and available if you are building for a different board. I mean seriously, what the ... is wrong with these developers.

Imagine if Xcode would allow only one library load for any given hardware target.

💩ware.

Don't get me going with the editor... the inept "debugger" which NEVER works.

They need to fix this hobbyware or shut it down.

    Yeah, Arduino IDE is super basic. It’s made for beginners, and it shows. Switching boards is a pain, and the debugger barely works. I usually move to PlatformIO when things get more serious. Way better tooling, proper library handling, and actual debugging. Arduino IDE is fine to get started, but it doesn’t scale well.

    Can't it run C? Why not use it like a regular microcontroller?

    This and ignoring the fact that it's not some fucking web apl embedded as a desktop app... The performance was better a few years ago.

    @BlazeStorm91 as hypocritical as it sounds, I'm trying to create a system of using Xcode with this and get rid of the Arduino IDE. If I can't step through debugging code, I want to ditch it with a vengeance.

    @lorentz Seems like every board requires a ton of library support that you need to hunt and peck around to find. Hours of just getting "hello world" to compile and link in many cases.
