For work, I had to program on a industrial Atmel board. I was baffled by the crappy librairies Atmel provived with the board. Stuff like the I2C lib was broken and I had to patch some code that was checking interrupts flags and such. I spent days to do something I could have done in days at home, and the board was still unstable. That's why companies with non-critical sytems don't bother with 'industrial' developement boards, when it's cheaper to buy Arduino compatible boards. Oh, and the documentation and knowledge available online is gold, when compared to the crappy docs from a big tech firm,
