I've recently hit the ceiling on arduino for a project. Has this ever happened to you?

Other: I burnt one ADC input, decided that it is simpler to use 'nude' Atmega32 chip, installed that to my device (much smaller, much cheaper and bigger).

No, it was not. Indeed, Arduino has one problem: its ideology (how registers are seeing, names/indices for registers, settings, etc) is quite different from the native structure of Atmega. And this ideology is poorly documented. So, I had problems even just started, when tried to configure Arduino, looked to the documentation of Atmega and understood nothing.

When I left Arduino, everything became clear: lots of documentation, every question can be googled, etc.

Indeed, I used ARMs before I started use Arduino. I think? they are intended for different tasks: I keep using ARM for big and complex devices, but Arduino is the best choise for small gadgets (and for an education, of course).
