This is such an ivory tower kind of viewpoint. Thinking like this we'd never have high level languages and tools that make life easier for everyone.

I recently got into hardware during the past year. The learning curve (especially on the software side of hardware) is quite steep. Also the toolchains suck. Coming from a webdev world it is night and day as to the amount of open source code out there that helps you get started. Arduino helps chip away at that steep learning curve and I wish there were more projects like it.
