  • Other architectures should indeed be considered, but an embedded linux system with mandatory SD card booting like the pi adds a lot of complexity and is fragile in unique ways, even if not more expensive. There are a lot of boards based on smaller, more highly intergrated ARM MCUs which are much more similar to an Arduino in terms of applications, while being drastically more capable. But if you need a lot of processing, or megabytes of memory, then yes, these complexities start to be worthwhile. Commented Aug 28, 2016 at 14:28
  • I also prefer the zero because it is so flexible. You can add more storage or embed it in projects while also having a large enough processor to do pretty much anything. Commented Aug 28, 2016 at 20:28
