I bought one. Programming it online and being able drag/drop a hex file onto the device makes it super simple and approachable. Very cool product.

  That's how all mbed boards are programmed (one of the ways anyway). It's ok until you need a real IDE and then they don't have any great solutions.

    That used to be the case, but have a look at the new mbed exporters - you can now export to: uVision 4 uVision 5 DS-5 LPCXpresso IAR Embedded Workbench CooCox CoIDE Kinetis Design Studio Simplicity Studio Atmel Studio SW4STM32 Systems Workbench e2studio Emblocks (taken from this recent post https://developer.mbed.org/blog/entry/Fixed-exporters-in-the-mbed-Online-Compi/ https://developer.mbed.org/blog/entry/Fixed-exporters-in-the... ) Which is a healthy start! There's an open source project for export to things that mbed uses: https://github.com/project-generator/project_generator https://github.com/project-generator/project_generator full disclosure: I am part of the mbed team

      While that is certainly good, people using Arduino now aren't going to spend £1k on IAR or whatever. Emblocks always seemed like a good option but as far as I can tell it isn't developed any more. Qt Creator, Visual Studio Code, KDevelop etc. would be more welcome. I did write an exporter for Qt Creator actually a year or two ago and abandoned it after the move to Yotta. Guess it is time to revive it! Btw where is the mbed team based?
