I still can't see why would anyone buy one except as one of those toys that you buy and then gets tossed in the closet. 10 years ago I could see the appeal, but now? The robotics, home automation, and weekend project use cases seem like would be better served by a $5 microcontroller.

Some projects, such as the weather station, justify the use of a full-fledged OS, but with the cost of buying an existing, proven, weather station being so low ... why bother?

And for a cheap webserver? A $1/month VPS is more powerful than this thing.

Can anyone tell me what is the use case of this?
