>It was probably in a better position ~2000 than RISC-V is now The subject was software ecosystem, and there was not much of an ecosystem for ARM until Raspberry Pi happened and the community jumped on it. RISC-V ecosystem might not have ARM parity yet, but it is way further along than ARM was at the time Raspberry Pi launched. I would argue RISC-V ecosystem is where ARM was barely 5 years ago, and catching up fast. My prediction? ARM's software ecosystem will be in the rear mirror within 2 years.

If you only consider desktop/server software to be actual “software” then yes. Otherwise I don’t think that’s accurate > My prediction? ARM's software ecosystem will be in the rear mirror within 2 years. Why? To be honest I find the somewhat religious level fanaticism related to RISC-v somewhat baffling

To be honest I find the somewhat religious level fanaticism related to RISC-v somewhat baffling I won't entertain the question, due to the loaded tail.
