It's been around for a while. It's more of a lack of docs than lack of support. RA has docs directly:

Personally, I don't shoot enough to justify new equipment. Photography is a minor hobby of mine, and I actually really enjoy the limitations of film. Just the other day I was on shot 33 of my last 35mm roll. It hits a bit different to say "well, I've got three shots left, I better make them count." I was doing a shoot with some friends and another photographer was there shooting on continuous, snapping a dozen frames while I took one. Their shots were partially edited by the end of the night and I'm trying to find time to get to the lab.
It's just a different experience. Like I said, I like the limitation that requires more planning and intention. Things don't always work out. I'll have a whole roll that's massively under or overexposed. I'll have rolls that never loaded properly and get nothing but a clear negative after development. It's all part of the story for me.
There are still some people here who think that either Foxconn is still ramping up, or that it's the current administration's fault, or that they're actually still hiring a bunch of people. I personally don't know a single person that's worked for Foxconn in the area, but I do know a few people in construction that either worked on the plant or on the infrastructure surrounding it.
The deal did have a stipulation with tax credits that Foxconn had to meet certain job numbers by specific dates or it had to pay them back. To my knowledge they have been paid. But yeah, as you pointed out that doesn't factor in the massive change to infrastructure.
I know it's been a while, but it's like people don't remember how much iOS Safari just decided "this is how the web works now" when "retina" became a thing.
Scheduled meetings become "here's this persistent channel for our team, this meeting calendar entry just links you to join that channel"
I had a really bad sprain about two years ago to the point where my partner had to help me on and off the toilet. Eventually I took off work, went to urgent care, and paid $200 for them to basically say "well it's not broken, we could do an MRI otherwise we don't know what you want us to do". Booking an appointment with a GP would have taken around a month. They won't be able to do anything long term but will recommend a physical therapist. All said and done it's probably a $5-10k ordeal and weeks until I could actually see any progress, plus work time missed. Big surprise, I didn't actually end up going to see a doctor. Recovery sucked and some movements still aren't quite right.
When compared to other Arduinos, probably.
That assumes that the XSD is accurate. I'm currently working with a vendor that has probably the worst XML-based API I've ever seen and the XSDs they provide often don't provide 100% coverage and have bad complex type declarations, etc.
