I actually used the "Rug Warriors" Handyboard way before the RIS was released.
The interactive C software from newtonlabs (www.newtonlabs.com) is fantastic. A
little "over-the-head" for kids, but how many kids actually use the RIS is
in-question.
The ability to measure analog signals and control so many input/outputs and to be
able to configure the ports to control hobby servos make the HB so great.
I personally use both of the above as well as basic stamps for all kind of
projects.
I think they all are usefull for differnet reasons...
