It's to the point that hardware features on their own aren't really selling points, at least in my opinion. You can have high speed, tons of ram, 10 different buses/ports, and sell it for $10. But if there isn't a healthy user community, and a good bsp, all of that hardware remains highly inaccessible. It's kind of a roller coaster of emotions. You can go from feeling like a wizard because of all of the shoulders you stand on for very little effort, to feeling like a dunce, because some driver doesn't work, and you have no idea how to go about implementing a solution.
