> I have been anti-recommending STM’s chips to everyone for a few years now due to STM’s behaviour with regards to the clearly-demonstrated-to-them hardware issues.
You certainly reserve the right. However it is unclear to me why the recommendation to complaints over a months-long period is a product that has just been released.
Trying to ask in a very unbiased way since as a hobbyist I’m looking into ST, Microchip, and RP2040. For my part I’ve had two out of four RP2040 come to me dead on arrival, as part of two separate boards from different vendors - one being Pi Pico from Digilent. Not a ton of experience with Microchip but I hear they have their own problems. Nobody’s perfect, the question is how do the options compare.
they're complaining now because they still feel the pain now. while writing the article, they're thinking of how things would have been different on previous projects if they had had this chip, and that is digging up pain and they felt it should be expressed.
I don't know what's so unclear. Have you never had a strong opinion about someone else's stuff? Man, I have.
