hah! maybe you could teach the arduino devs a thing or two about not releasing broken, undocumented builds (cough, 1.6.2, cough) on a whim
anyway i look forward to seeing the core, and hope it is just a hardware core and not a whole ide - could do without a 4th installation!
i actually quite like what the spark core guys did - which was basically just port Wiring to their mcu's, so you have arduino compatibility without needing the IDE or even a core at all, just regular old gcc-arm-none-eabi and some makefiles.
i'd quite like to get rid of the espressif sdk completely and just use the gcc-xtensa toolchain, but not sure if that's possible.
