A model web site to consider for Teensy's upgrade
Particle.io web site is among the best I've seen in the embedded/microprocessor world. Very easy to use. Carefully organized. Makes a huge difference in finding what you want.
Their compiler (GCC?) for the STM32 M3 is on-line, like mbed's was. That's good for configuration management, maybe bad for advanced users... BUT, their JTAG/SWD adapter board would enable one to use a local build too chain as an option and do interactive debugging via JTAG/SWD and OCD, with visual GDB (almost free) or IAR or Keil, or some Eclipse or OSX tool set.
I was an early adopter of mbed/NXP. That IDE (a web front-end to Keil's IDE) was too ambitious and I didn't like it).
Teensy could aim for something this exemplary web site, and even their on-line IDE for some kinds of users. Whoever is doing Particle.io's web site design is exceptional.
