As a small robotics startup we use Arduinos to control our grippers just because it was easy for the founders to get started and because adding new features is fairly fast. We've actually moved to a board that pretends to be a mega2560 but is entirely custom but we're still sticking with the Arduino libraries. Some day we might move to a standard uC approach but that'll be when we have many more employees.
