I agree. I've been in a row with their founder over the same criticism you offer. PlatformIO is really nice and smooth and seamless, as long as you do exactly what they think you should be doing. It would be a great product if it un-bu

As a binational person, I can tell you that this is a much more emotional issue than you believe. Being asked to leave your citizenship behind isn't just some paperwork, it's a very big blow to your identity. In my case, it would

While I see where you're coming from, this strategy has a severe downside: once you lose the urgency, I expect conversion to renewables will grind to a halt. Inertia is a powerful thing. In that sense it may be more reasonable to skip
