I don't care that much about performance. Support and all stuff I get to play with on RPi is more important. Why would I need more ram or faster cpu to read temperature sensor and send show it on a website? Then you get people who do projects that would fit on 8 bit processor, like reading sensor and then switching relay depending on sensor value. That is gross overkill. If you have more ambitious projects like streaming video, which I have seen somewhere in thread, or mining cryptos, maybe RPi is not best choice.
