I'm not disagreeing with you completely. I don't think I would be thrilled creating a consumer product with this kit. However, you have to admit that this would be very ideal for rapid prototyping. Unlike you, I have never programmed hardware. I think that what I would do with this product is build a prototype or two or three, just to a point where I get a proof of concept nailed down. From there, I'll be extra-motivated to reduce the size and improve power-consumption, reliability, and responsiveness by learning C in the context of embedded programming.
