    At this point I see the value proposition of the RPi being for the developer more than the user (who gets indirect benefits from the devs).

    RPi provide a platform for testing code optimizations that is somewhat standardized. Memory leaks, inefficient code, etc. stick out like a sore thumb.

    If you can get something to run well on a pi, good odds it’ll run well everywhere else.
