Hi!Another point to check: is .net available for Mac OS X and Linux?
I choose Arduino because the IDE was Mac OS X compatible, with no installation hassle.
Basically this.
I love the way that Arduino is multiplatform. .NET is just another Microsoft product, making it unuseable on anything other than Windows.
I try to stay away from Windows when it comes to personal use and hobby as much as possible.
Ofcourse the computing power of the other systems is awesome, multithreading is intresting to play with, but 1: I don't need it, and 2: I don't want to trade in my Mac
