The article doesn't focus enough on the original reason for the creation of the Raspberry pi - namely education. With the versatility of software created specifically for the Pi, and the GPIO pins, nothing comes close to it for that purpose, especially if price is factored in.

I run two of them 24/7; one is for torrents, the other provides media for my TV. I have half a dozen others, of various iterations, that I tinker with, and use to introduce assorted grandchildren to physical computing. They seem very resilient to all kinds of abuse. I've never had a failure.
