Only the Arduino Due is ARM based, all of the rest are ATmel based. The ATmel boards are fine for 99.5% of what I do. However, The Arduino Due is large, contains no on-board bluetooth and costs $50. The RFduino is small, has on-board bluetooth and costs $19. In truth, I don't use an actual Arduino in any final project. I use the Arduino-nano (the only type that I own) and when the project is finished I use a bare ATmel chip (usually an ATtiny85) and build a PCB. I may do the same with the RFdino when I need more speed, which, admittedly, is rarely. My opinion of Kickstarter is different than yours. I have invested in several projects, none of which were technology based - this is my first technology project. On technology I see, along with lots of junk, some very creative projects that would probably never be launched without Kickstarter as a funding source. Many of these projects will ultimately fail because those involved lack the business acumen
 necessary to succeed. However, their marketplace exposure will be seen, the creativity recognized and may spawn competitive and more successful efforts. Also, some of the projects do succeed.
