Just wondering what peoples opinions are as to whether PicBasic has run its course or been impacted with the recent flood of other embedded systems that have now come onto the market such as Arduino, and now the microbit.

The PBP 2.6 and 3 sections used to be heaving, with lots of regular contributors, and plenty of topics, but these days you can return to the forum after a break of a couple of days and there has only been a single reply, and usually from one of three regular contributors.... does this mean less and less people are using PBP ?
