I think that it's fair to consider Arduino's complicated history (the legal battles, the Wiring history, etc.) while also acknowledging how revolutionary it's been to hobbyist electronics. I'm not sure what would be improved by trying to avoid Arduino at this point. Especially considering that it has spawned a very large and versatile ecosystem: all of the open source libraries that have been created for it (some random amazing ones: [0], [1]), the compatible shields and accessories [2], tutorials & courses, etc. It remains an extremely important and useful platform, and for good reason.
