AVR-Chat

The problem is that these things are like dog food.  The consumer and the
purchaser have different priorities.  I'm sure that if you got a few beers
into an Atmel exec, they'd tell you the purpose of the studio is to sell
parts by making people like us think it will make our lives easier and allow
us to deliver more working code faster.  By the time we discover the bugs
we're committed to their parts and when the next project rolls around, we'd
rather deal with a bug set we've learned than to fight the same battles
again with another IDE for another vendor's part.

They tell me there's a new studio coming, a ground-up rewrite.
But my project is probably going to be complete before we see that release.


Somewhere, there has to be someone in atmel who understands that the
purpose of these tools is to make our lives EASIER, and help us
deliver more working code FASTER.   IMHO those points are being
missed, entirely.
