I won one from Sparkfun and just recently started using it. I have some experience developing on embedded platforms.

The unit I have was a pain to flash the first time. I guess something got corrupted at some point and I had to recover with a very unreliable process from a Debian box. That said after the first flash, everything install wise has been wonderful.

The development environment is great for my purposes, however setup was non-trivial. Had I not been comfortable in eclipse I doubt I could have gotten the ld flags set correctly, or changed the c++ std for the compiler.

I love being able to upload code over wifi.
