AdaFruit Industries and SparkFun Part Ways Partially Over Teensy

Please see the news article at: The Register

Some of the information in the article is inflammatory.
I am only posting this because Teensy depends on AdaFruit for software.
Please keep any replies respectful and about products.

Please. Not another thread about the kids spitting the dummy.

I am only posting this because Teensy depends on AdaFruit for software.

Please elaborate.
Based on what facts have you made this statement?

Just yesterday I closed a thread about this, which caused a lot of disruption over the last couple weeks.

Maybe they meant "Teensy depends on Arduino for software"?

We do indeed use the Arduino IDE software.

We're also still friends with Arduino. Or at least I'm pretty sure we're on good terms with them. I haven't traveled for tech conferences since the pandemic, so it's been years since we've met in person.

Sorry, when I first saw this thread, it went in one ear and out the other and thought it was a good candidate to close.

Maybe they meant "Teensy depends on Arduino for software"?

I took this as meaning: Teensy users often depend on Adafruit libraries.
That is or what libraries do we often start often start off with, when we pick up a new sensor or display with to see if that device works...

It does not matter what @whitebengal meant or not. I suggest that any thread on Adafruit vs Sparkfun (and this one) is closed immediately. If there is a need to enter into a Teensy development due to non PJRC events, than this should be named explicitely and focused on.

Ok, closing this thread.
