Imagine what kind of leaps and bounds "hobby" electronics would take if it dropped compatibility for the damn Arduino? Come to the modern age and stop thinking in terms of an 8-bit DIP package dozen MHz microcontroller...
What do you think was limiting it? You think someone who wants to design a (say) 15GHz sampling oscilloscope will stop because of the Arduino?
On the other hand, why not use an Arduino? I don't need a 32 bit monster "micro" controller running embedded Linux to flash the headlights on my RC car. I use a bare-bones PIC but someone who is happy with the "get it done" approach of an Arduino, what is wrong with that?
He is using a 32bit monster, its a pic32 device, a chipkit32 clone. Its running an emulation of the io of the 8bit aurduino through wiring. Its not a common of garden aurduino 8bit avr.
