My personal experience was the opposite. I own two identically equipped boards: the Seeed Studio ArchMix and the Teensy 4.1
On the archmix, I managed to boot up and that’s about it. There was literally a REPL and I was able to blink the LED and then I couldn’t proceed further, where was I supposed to code?
Bad experience.
Teensy: connect the board , fire up the teensyduino ide, choose an interesting example from the drop down menu, run it, rinse and repeat until you are familiar with idioms for all sorts of things, real hardware examples they do real things, real peripheral support in the form of examples
