> Marketing something as a "production-ready, highly portable, consistent, complete and high quality", but then shipping an amateurish, broken, bloated and practically unusable junk by a team, who is often incapable of understanding the complaints and bug reports, and is even less capable of fixing the issues, indeed is disrespectful.
Unfortunately I need to agree.
The marketing buzz attracting ignorant (un-knowing and unexperience) beginners, making them believe they can create competitive applications with some mouse clicks in an opaque application.
I understand the huge ST portfolio, and thus the pressure for the software department to keep up. Which tey obviously can't, as the overall quality attests.
It seems hardware sales trump firmware quality, and thus the maketing push continues.
Anyway, for this reason and because of a distaste in several core concepts of Cube/HAL, I either continue to use the SPL, or access peripheral registers directly.
For me as non-commercial enthusiast, a small and cheap Linux SBC (like the PI Zero) looks much more appealing for more complex projects, especially considering prices are almost the same.
