I like that there are not enough people running linux to make it not worth hackers efforts .Sweet. Yes, it looks nice, albeit somewhat expensive when it's all said and done. On the positive side, of course, there are far more options available for arduino devices - which makes sense, as such things are used in the industrial world.
The Raspberry Pi is what it is, an extremely cheap computer for the "homebrew" crowd that is capable of running a linux OS. But that's part of the appeal - I like linux, although I'm a user, not a programmer. And I'm thinking that my next computer will probably be one (if I'm lucky, lol). I like the fact that I could - in theory, at least, and with some patience - use one for other "computer" tasks, such as basic web browsing.
Both are interesting, but for slightly different reasons. I'm only a spectator in this sport at present, and like seeing what people have done, are doing, and will do with both devices.
