Having used both contiki and riot, I found contiki (NG) very good with supporting more devices and peripherals and much easier to integrate and work with. Riot is difficult in that half the times their tutorials themselves didn't work and there was no support online (this was about a year back and maybe it is better now). I really prefer contiki ng

We are currently using RIOT in a 3 year research project(2 years in atm) and they do have some issues, however not on the scale you describe. Especially with the online support, if you ask the community, you will generally get an answer relatively quick. With the examples, your experience will vary greatly depending on what board you use, as not all support every test. It is however clear, that they started as a research project and had, and still have, some maturing to do before they can be considered for a production environment. In my opinion, they are however on the right track for that. The list of buried corpses tends to get shorter and over the last year, a lot of interesting features were added. They are also currently working on fixing their documentation and getting automated HIL tests running for their supported boards, which should fix alot of problems people getting started with RIOT currently have. We are likely not going to use RIOT in the next project, however we will continue to use it for teaching.
