yeah, no. I do both (and to the user asking for an opinion wether to switch from embedded to app.. don't!) and i loathe making apps. Sure, the dev tools are supposedly better, more modern.. but they are also an evermoving target. You can never declare a project done. This is because every new OS update breaks compatibility in subtle ways, or new requirements or behaviour changes remove capabilities you were using before and were essential for your app, or simply: the new major update breaks BLE / Wifi / Background operation and you waste three weeks of your life trying to make it work again, only to find that an OS update restored things. This happens every single year, at least once. Then you have the store policy (Play store for example) that changes the Target SDK so you MUST recompile the app with the new SDK or else, and the iOS certificate expiring every year so you have to pay for the privilege, then you have to recompile / resign... which means that the project must be compilable at all times, and every year the SDK version changes, the toolchain changes. In the embedded world i can effectively freeze the development environment, with my ancient GCC version, and it will work forever. Well, that's not really true anymore if you use Zephir, IDF or other framework monters :(
